I try to support my community, but summer produce comes from other places and, in my opinion, the quality isn't there. As for the prices, don't forget that the vendors rent their spots, and who knows how much that is. I got turned off during strawberry season, when I saw a vendor selling "local strawberries" was taking them out of a carton marked California Strawberries and repackaging them. When confronted, he didn't say anything. I walked away.
