The farmer’s market maybe providing some of the best , organic produces of the country but the price that they label it with is rather expensive. Quality over quantity indeed but the pricing is rather catered towards the foreigners that visit the farmer’s market , rather than the locals who might visit the place. This is also one reason why alot of local people don’t seem to visit the place to buy any produce even though the produces are of high quality but the pricing is rather kept as though that the locals can not normally afford. Then theres the thing that not all vendors provide samples to you when sometime you would want to have a small sample of the produce before buying it.
