I've noticed the same thing in markets near me. They're great places, if you want to support local farmers, buy items that weren't trucked from far away, find items not stocked at the supermarket (like "goats' milk soap" for instance), or large quantities (like a bushel basket, about 35 kg, of apples for making homemade applesauce to home-can in jars for the winter). But otherwise, yes, they're harder on the wallet. Glad you had a nice coffee with Skipper! 😁
