My trip to the Farmer's Market was a total dud. The only organic vendor there was selling t-shirts. She told me the market doesn't sell organic food in the summer because it spoils faster. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. The next closest market is about an hour away, so I guess I'll be buying my organic produce at the grocery store for now.

For the most part, the price difference isn't bad this week, but I was not impressed with the $1.50 per lb. price difference for the red grapes.
