Farmer's markets are the best! We learned here that you have to be careful of the vendors you buy from. Some veg vendors were just buying commercially grown produce from distributers and selling it at the open air market as if they'd grown it. It's sad to hear Europe is going in that direction. Our food supply here in America is among the most tainted. The FDA has softened so many of the rules regarding ingredient safety and labeling that it's sometimes impossible to even determine what you're getting. Very scary!
