There has been a little flood recently of items concerning the costs of shopping at farmers markets instead of supermarkets. Meg Hourihan points to some conclusions from a business-statistics class at Seattle University. Meanwhile, over at Becks & Posh, Sam has come to the same conclusion.

For my part, even ignoring the cost/value of known provenance, less food-miles traveled, etc. I have found that market food has been, on average, about the same price as or a little cheaper than supermarket food here on the outskirts of London.
