The Dynamics of Farmers Markets

Pricing at farmers markets varies widely, with some products, like garlic, often significantly overpriced compared to grocery stores. The discussion highlights that buyers at these markets tend to be less price-sensitive, leading to farmers potentially charging more than they need to. Organizations like Cornell University are working to help farmers set fair prices by providing them with data on price averages for agricultural goods. This initiative aims to empower farmers economically by enabling them to realize their product's true market value.
