  There’s a big difference between a farm stand and a farmers market.

    Farm shops are also really expensive here

      Like, a farm shop at the farm itself, or on the side of the road nearby? That’s what a farm stand is.

        Don’t think I have ever really seen one of those. Maybe a sign like eggs 50p each but again that is pretty expensive and it was years ago

        Where I’m at they’re usually a glorified lean-to. Ran by either a kid or an old, never anyone in-between. Or just the honor system. Usually has excellent produce for real cheap.

  In the US a “farmers market” typically means that a city or town shuts down a few streets and farmers come from their rural farms to the city center to sell their produce. The prices can trend high, because the focus tends to be on quality and known provenence.

  What the parent poster is describing is not farmers markets, but farm stands. You have to go to them instead of them coming to you, which is where the savings come from. It might not be worth it depending on the value of your time.

    Most farmers markets I’ve seen have dedicated space, no street shutting necessary. There’s one open every day a couple miles from my house.

    Farm shops are even more expensive.

  Same here, and those Aldi cucumbers are like 1,50€ or a little more.
