One thing you notice after you buy your first juicer--juicers are relatively cheap--fruit isn't!

akarsnerDepends on the area. Where I live farmers markets are more expensive than local stores and always been. I guess that's the buying/selling power of the stores, farmers simply drop their produce in bulk and stores resell it to the public.
When it's season apples are $2-$3 per 5lb bag, cantaloupes/honeydews $1 each (any size), watermelons $2 (any size), etc. That's petty cheap in my book.

brainwaveYou must live in the Garden of Eden or some other bountiful nirvana. I live in the giant cement slab that is the California San Francisco Bay Area. If the locals want prices that cheap, we have to drive, and drive far in many cases, to special bi-monthly farmers markets put together by a wide-spread congregation of farmers and other organic officionados at some seemingly random popup location out in middle of Timbuc Tu. But I am happy to do so, because I would rather spend a few more bucks per item and get quality and care of the produce with love than to get the thrashed and desheveled store-bought equivalent that goes rotten in less than two days.

akarsnerOh, man... I feel for you. I'm in Midwest in a large metropolitan area. Local store chains, small and big, contracted farmers from nearby rural states to bring in their seasonal produce. 'Buy local' signs are everywhere. California and Florida farms compete here also along with Latin American and European imports. That's the beauty of free market.
