Most farmers markets don’t get produce that actually comes from a farm. It comes from a wholesale grocer.

Don’t believe everything you see is actually organic and produced locally.

I used to work in food systems so I’m familiar with that; I mostly go to get the added value/processed stuff like bread.

Yeah I actually took a look at Stony Hill Farms pie ingredients, I am not sure where I can get a monoglyceride plant, but I am interested to know how well they grow in NJ.

Its all kind of a scam really- I treat it like a slightly more expensive foodstore that happens to set up shop down the block from me, but there is nothing better about their stuff at all IMHO. This past fall I was really disappointed in their apples- Shoprite's Honey Crisps were better, and Shoprite's produce is typically one of their weak spots.
