Shot of Farmer’s market it made me question again because a lot of people come to ttv and then the farmers market and think that they are both good In reality, farmers market isn’t good, they aren’t real farmers but eat more produce is good, local climax I started shopping at farmers markets, but Its not farmers its capitalism, moment of crisis!
