[quote=Anonymous]I’m like 99% sure I know which farm you’re referring to, I go to their Saturday market as well. Look, if you have actually been buying produce from this place for years, the farmers/employees likely know you. Why don’t you just ask them why it’s so expensive? There’s almost certainly a markup because they’re selling in NW DC, but there have also been a number of costs that have gone up, as others have mentioned. Have you ever tried to grow fruits and vegetables in this climate? It kind of sucks. We have extreme weather on both ends of the spectrum (hot and cold), intense storms, very high humidity that makes it difficult to avoid lots of diseases, lots of pests… I could go on. It is a difficult place to be a small-scale vegetable farmer. [/quote]
