Ohio has many produce farms. We've been buying from them for many years. Occasionally we buy extra for friends when we're on the garden trail. We avoid the "farmers markets". As a rule you won't find good prices at these places. Produce at farm markets is usually overpriced. Some vendors are "resellers" who buy from farms, markup the price and resell it. Some sell produce shipped in from out of state but give the impression it's home grown. There are some who grow good produce on their own land, bring it to market and sell it at a reasonable price. You need to know the difference. In the past we went to produce auctions but people were bidding everything up to ridiculous prices so we don't go to auctions now.
