Pricey Farmers’ Markets
A reader hopes that a new farmers’ market will not be out of reach for those of modest means.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/23/opinion/a-more-egalitarian-approach-to-locavore-eating.html
Hunt's Point is operated by the wholesalers.
Their unit profits are small so their volume is large.
They cannot afford to deal in small quantities without a large markup.
The new market looks to be an attempt to revive push cart sales.
One must sell where the buyers are.
