My biggest peeve here in southern California is that what they call "farmers markets" - even using the word "certified" - are virtually nothing more than flea markets. There may (or may not, even) be a booth or two that sell produce, and some that sell hand crafted items, but the rest just sell junk. None in my area are worth the trip to ship for anything edible. I prefer to stop at a roadside stand where at least the signage tells you what it actually grown locally.
