“There’s no better place to buy fruits and vegetables than at a farmers’ market. Period.” That confident claim was made by New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman. Still, he sees some improvements to be made, and he argues for them in this August 2014 op-ed article in that newspaper.
Read it here: Bittman, "Farmers’ Market Values”
- Bittman clearly encourages people to shop at farmers’ markets, but that isn’t his main argument in this essay. What is he arguing? Has he made his case clearly and convincingly? Why or why not?
- According to Bittman, why is buying produce at farmers’ markets worthwhile even though the prices are generally higher than in supermarkets? Which of his reasons do you find most persuasive? Why?
- Bittman claims that “we’ve all seen farmers’ market produce last two or three times longer than supermarket produce.” Who is Bittman’s “we”? Does it include you? Why might he have presented that assertion as something that “we” would all know? Is the phrasing effective? Why or why not?
- Visit a farmers’ market in your area and take a careful look at how it might improve as a whole. More space? More parking? Better arrangement of booths and aisles? More convenient payment systems? Once you identify a few problem areas, think about how improvements might be made and who should be in charge of making them happen. Then, write a letter to the responsible person(s) describing the improvements you’d like to see (and why), and suggesting a way to bring the improvements about. (If there is no farmers’ market in your area, write a letter proposing that one be established.)

(2). Bittman makes a very persuasive argument on why fresh farmers market food is the way to go. He helps his argument be more persuasive by visiting local farmers markets and describing how amazing the food is. He does point out that the prices are higher than if they were store bought. But the taste makes up for the price difference. Buying produce at a farmers market is the best choice in my opinion. I have tried store bought greens, than farmers market greens. The difference between the two are not comparable at all. I thought his most persuasive reason is when he talks about the produce lasting for two or three weeks longer than regular store bought produce. Usually when I buy food from the store, I have to eat it right away or it doesn’t taste as good. Or last as long. I believe he wants his readers to understand that, if someone wants to have fresh delicious food, it will cost more. Also, the best choices are usually the most expensive.

According to Bittman, buying produce at a farmer’s market is worth spending for, and to some extent, you get what you pay for. In the article, Bittman states, “When you buy directly from a farmer, you’re pretty much guaranteed real freshness (we’ve all seen farmers’ market produce last two or three times longer than supermarket produce)”. You will get more out of a farmer’s market and it will have healthier benefits for you in the long run. As stated in the article, farmers’ markets are educational systems that teach us how food is raised and why that matters. It is important for us to be concerned and informed about what we are eating on a daily basis. Also, we are responsible for the actions we take while consuming foods that satisfy our needs whether it is a healthy choice or not, we should know what we are putting into our bodies. I strongly believe that farmers markets should be more available to everyone because not only are you helping yourself, you are also helping your neighbor and farmers, you are contributing to society and the environment. You are taking action and getting involved in your community.

Bittman is arguing that farmers markets offer food of superior quality. He wants us to help support smaller-scale farmers in an environment that’s more and more difficult for anyone not doing industrial-scale agriculture, and increase the amount of local food available to shoppers. He hasn’t made his case clear because people still use there money on non organic and not naturally grown food products.
Bernard says that farmers markets are a good idea and they’re more healthy to residents within their communities, but how much of your money are you willing to spend ?
DeAnne says not only you will get the freshest produce but it helps the farmers as well. What about the people who don’t live near these markets ? How would they get this produce ?
I say it’s all up to the person buying the product. If you’ve been eating non organic food all your life and you’ve had no problems with your health then I don’t see why you cant continue to do so. If you want to go for the more expensive healthy buy then you can do that as well. No one’s forcing you to shop at a farmers market. It’s only suggested because it’s much more healthier.

I agree that local farmers markets are excellent sources for fresh vegetables and fruits. It gives us an opportunity to know where our food came from and how it was grown. I find it interesting that one of Mark Bittman’s topics was the frustration of farmers with all of the consumers questions. I can see where they may feel bombarded with multiple questions but to me, that is indeed the benefit of a farmers market. i will always ask questions and have an interest in discussing methods with the farmers. If they bristle at those questions then I’ll most likely buy from someone else.

Bittman said you get what you pay for! Even though buying your groceries can be more expensive, the quality is ten times better. Not only are you buying these fresh veggies and fruit, you are also supporting your local farmers. If you have questions about the food you’re getting, you can ask the farmer who produced it. Another thing Bittman was trying to tell us that farmers need more government assistant. They live off what we buy from them and so we need to help our local farmers. I was reading one of the comments and I agreed with what they said, that farmer markets give us an opportunity to come closer as a community.

This article points out the benefits of shopping from farmer’s markets. I personally agree with the author in saying when it comes to food, like most things, you get what you pay for. Farmer’s markets are the closet representation we have in the modern era to the old way of eating. In the old model a person would go to several different places collecting the ingredients and then formulating a meal. They would visit the butcher and select a cut of meat and then they would go to the square where the produce farmer’s peddled their wares and select the accompaniments. I think we as a society need to get back to this method of shopping, cooking, and eating.

Mark Bittman talks about how fresh the produce is at a farmers market. It might be more money to shop there, but it is well worth it. My mother use to tell me “you get what you pay for”.

I’ve been to many farmer’s markets and I would have to agree with Bittman when it comes to the produce being worthwhile. The farmer’s markets I’ve been to haven’t been higher in cost for produce. The produce was actually cheaper and it tasted a lot better than the produce from the grocery store. I guess price depends on where you live and how common it is to have farmers around regularly. I think Bittman is pretty persuasive when he talks about how good the produce is from a farmers market, as I mentioned above. I also like that Bittman talks about supporting your local farmers, because the more you shop local, the better the economy will be.

I strongly agree on Mark Bittman’s argument on farmers’ market and growing natural produce throughout the local farms because producing homegrown vegetables and fruit can benefit the quality of the taste, also it is natural and no chemicals or antibiotics induced inside of them. When people buy directly from a farmer, it is guaranteed real freshness and buyers are helping local farmers grow to have access to good local food. Furthermore, I strongly support farmers’ markets because not only they have many varieties too choose from and are entertaining, but there are better high qualities than the normally stored bought. Although they are pricey, but people get what they paid for. As Mark Bittman have mentioned local farmers are our neighbors, since they are consuming healthy food and are doing us a favor by not eating unhealthy food. We should give back by buying directly from them and help them continue to produce high quality of food. I personally prefer buying my goods at a local market because I share my enthusiasm for organic, locally grown fruit, and vegetables. I am willing to pay a little extra for my goods, and the good reason why we all should buy at the farmers market is the beneficial factor of nutritional value it provides, but at the same time I am supporting the farmers who produce them. Lastly, I absolutely agree with Mark Bittman’s argument about the government should be on board in supporting the farmer’s market by providing better salary income to the tireless farmers, and help the production and operations to make their job more organized and easy. This is something to consider because there are many significant and beneficial factor of buying home-grown produce. It will likely enriched our lives by approaching to choose to eat healthier that will eliminate bad food that we consume into our body from chemicals and from eating unhealthy fast food.

It would be nice to see some improvement in a farmer’s market. I think there are plenty of problems in a farmers market. One problem being the location. the LOcation is usually in a dead zone. Hardly any stores around them and isolated area. Like up north at the farmer’s market my family and I go to has no stores around it for miles, only signs directing the way to go. Another problem would be their parking spaces. When you park there it is usually dirt or mud no lines directing each parking space so people park stupidly. Also, it’s not a big parking area so there’s not room for many people like a grocery store would have. Not saying it has to be as big as a grocery store but should be at least half that size. The arrangement isn’t all that great they are closely put together and is all cluttered. If they spaced each fruit and vegetable out it would make it look much nicer too. Most farmer’s markets only take cash only, if they changed it to cash and credit option more people would come out because most people don’t carry around cash mainly just their cards. Another thing would be lowering the prices just a little bit. If you want people to choose a farmer’s market instead of a grocery store then you might want to make the prices lower than the grocery store or the same price of the fruits and veggies at the grocery store. I agree with Bernard with his statement of thinking there should be more farmer’s markets around. Right now there is only a handful of them around where you live. It will give everyone a more of a variety of where to get their food from. I also agree with Kayla because she said farmer markets need more attention from the Government so they can even better the products. With all the suggestions i think a farmer’s market could really turn into a nice place if they put a little bit of time and money into it.

Bittman’s main point to why buying from farmers markets is quite simple. It mainly has to focus on better produce that help out your local producers instead of giant retail stores. I always believe in buying locally because it keeps the “little guy” in business. This is very persuasive because this will in turn help out our economy. Most people who have money, main focus is the middle class, will in turn spend that money. This keeps money in our economy. The food is also not grown in water so the flavor is much better for a little more of a price. Therefore, buying from Farmer’s markets are a big benefit to the farmer, economy, and our taste buds!

While shopping for the healthy foods you can personally ask the farmers questions about the their crops.

I agree and disagree with Amber’s response to Bittman’s article, that superior produce is the main reason as to why I would shop at the farmer’s market as opposed to the grocery store. While I value the quality of food that I am paying for and consuming, I tend to care about the price of my food more than any other factor. It is important to me that I am managing my money responsibly, so I am always mindful of the cost of whatever items I am buying. I am constantly looking for the store/source which provides me with the cheapest prices of various items, and I tend to return to these places more regularly than a store which has more expensive items. However, I do believe that it is extremely important to support local businesses, and shopping at farmer’s markets is a great way to do so. Therefore, if a farmer’s market was close to my home and readily accessible, I would not refrain from attending on a regular basis and spending money on local goods.

I don’t think farmer’s markets are beneficial to anyone who has access to a supermarket. Sure, they would fit right in in a small community, but in the current era of convenience and efficiency, farmer’s markets have no room to compete. Many of their products are expensive and it is a gamble as to whether the food will even be fresh. The real question in the success of farmer’s markets lies in whether or not consumers are willing to exert themselves to buy an expensive fresh piece of fruit.

Bittman is right. In all ways except convenience or price, farmers’ markets are superior to supermarkets (funny considering “super” is in the word “supermarkets”). At a farmers’ market, everything is fresh as air. While rather expensive, the products live up to their price. Prices can even be lowered significantly when bargained. Bittman encourages support for these farmers’ markets to grant them the convenience that supermarkets often possess.

In this article, Bittman is arguing for increased government help to the farmer’s market movement. He forges this argument by citing the numerous benefits that these natural food resources bring such as improved quality and the advancement of a class work workers. With these benefits in mind, Bittman aims to persuade the reader to share his opinion that government should help make farmer’s markets more efficient. The positives are limitless and the effort would be minimal in order for real change. Based on these points mentioned in the article, it is hard to argue against the benefits of such an institution and I believe that with government help, society can be changed for the better.

Reading Bittman’s article on farmer’s markets really got me thinking about fresh produce near me. My family loves to cook and experiment with new food, which is why my mom always shops at farmer’s markets, although not only “Producer” ones. The produce we get there is definitely much better than the comparable bruised and tasteless produce at the local supermarket. However, I do notice that not many people around here shop at farmer’s markets. Many people drive over to the local Shop-rite or Acme to grab a few things to quickly stir up dinner. So I agree with Bittman in saying that farmer’s markets do need more attention. Buying from farmer’s markets doesn’t only benefit the farmer but also yourself since they are less tampered by chemicals and fresher.

Farmers’ markets not only benefit the small farmers of communities, but the consumers as well. If it is well known that local produce brought fresh from the farmers’ markets last longer and are fresher, then why doesn’t everyone support their local markets? I think it is important for the government to start supporting these types of markets and spreading awareness of their benefits. Produce that is basically manufactured and almost artificial by the supermarkets needs to start being ruled out of grocery lists, and people need to begin supporting their neighbors and local farmers.

I think Bittman calling for government assistance for farmer’s markets is totally ridiculous. Anybody that cannot successfully sell their product should not get aid from the government. If many people share Bittman’s views on farmer’s markets then farmer’s markets do not need any help. However, it is still more convenient to go to a massive super market. Therefore, it is the duty of the consumer to determine how they want to spend their money and where they want to spend it. If farmer’s markets are crushed it is because the majority of people chose that and the will of the people ought to dictate the direction the market heads in.

One of Bittman’s main points is that produce from a farmer’s market is noticeably better in taste and lasting freshness, therefore making the higher cost worth spending. Although this is worth noting, it changes nothing for people who will continue to shop at chain grocery stores because the food is cheaper and the store itself is more convenient. If a family struggling to make ends meet simply desires a vegetable on their table, they will go to a grocery store, because despite the lacking taste the nutritional value is still there. Bittman’s argument seems to address this issue when mentioning that farmer’s markets should continue to accept food stamps, and increase their value. This could be a deciding factor for shoppers who can only afford lower quality grocery store produce.

Bittman reasons that even at the prices farmers’ markets are charging, it would be worth the switch to them from supermarkets. With the benefits of allowing the consumer to ask individual questions about each product and allowing them to make decisions on what they’re eating with more knowledge on the subject farmers’ markets seem to be a logical place to shop. I believe this is true as well. It will allow a portion of the small business population to gain ground and span the gap between the rich and the poor. If people want to help their country as well as themselves farmer’s markets are a great choice for just a slightly higher price.

Growing up on store-made products such as potato chips and cookies, I never really appreciated the hard work and effort farmers put into producing their food and selling it to the public. However, while I may not appreciate all they do, I have in fact gone to many farmers market growing up because my family loved the freshly grown produce.Whenever attending a farmers market it gave me a sense of an older time where the people relied on freshly grown food to live rather than store bought goods. I can understand where Bittman is coming from when he argues for the allowed use of more electricity, running water, and increased sale prices, however I don’t think those added commodities truly reflect the life of many farmers. I do however agree with the much needed growth and expansion of many farmers market to more urban areas as a way to allow city dwellers access to fresh, healthy food. Through the use of advertising and using permanent indoor/outdoor facilities, these markets could draw in much needed business. Allowing these people the knowledge of where their food came from and a sense of healthiness to their diets, it could result in a healthier, happier population in these more urbanized, fast-paced cities.

Farmer’s markets, as Bittman depicts, are more beneficial than cheaper produce from local distributors. As he says, “you get what you pay for”. If consumers prefer fresher produce rather than what they are already buying, they need to pay a higher price for the most part. Surprisingly, not all fresh produce is too expensive. For example, Bittman eggplants for “less than $3 a pound”, while in other markets, tomatoes went for $4 per pound, despite the fact that they were not as healthy and satisfactory as the farmer’s market’s produce. In other cases, the same tomatoes went for 99 cents. Logically thinking, a product that goes for 99 cents, and one for $6, the more expensive one is generally the better product. As Bittman says, the expensive ones are “real” and “sometimes explosive in flavor”. To simplify the argument on whether or not fresh grown produce is the best option or not, no matter what is purchased, “you get what you pay for”.

My own mother, unfortunately, has yet to discover the gift of farmer’s markets, and has many times turned down buying fruits and vegetables due to their unappetizing, unripe state.

Bittman calls for higher support for farmers markets and local farmers. He does this by following up with the validity of their inflated pricing with reasoning. However, I disagree with the following that farmers markets have gathered and the subsequent bragging of offering the freshest greens. Most if not all farmers sell produce to local grocery stores which then package and sell them as their own. These packaged products are no different from their “fresher” counterparts, but still manage to attract audiences that must have “the best quality” possible. However, consumers feed into the idea of fresher is better and quickly find that spending is greatly increased while knocking down the amount of meals yielded from seemingly lavish spending. I don’t deny the freshness of these products, but how much better are they than a bag of tomatoes sitting in refrigeration for nothing but a few hours?

1) The author is arguing for community and municipal support of local farmers’ markets. His arguments include having permeant space for local farmers’ markets with utilities, restrooms, ample parking, and climate controlled buildings so that the vendors and consumers are out of the elements. It is my opinion that the author has made clear and concise arguments about this issue, and what he is purposing would make visiting the farmers ‘market more enjoyable.
2) By visiting the local farmers’ market, you are supporting the local smaller farms, as well as supporting the local economy. You are also able to have better knowledge of the produce you are getting, for example you can find out anything you wanted to know from the farmer who grew it. The produce you buy at the farmers’ market is also fresher and is more flavorful then that at the super markets. So by shopping at the farmers’ market you are not only supporting your local farmer and economy, but also are getting fresher and tastier produce. Considering these things, the slightly higher prices you pay at the farmers’ market is well worth it.
3) The author’s statement of “we” I believe includes everyone, from the vendors to the farmer market shoppers. The way the author states it could be taken as everyone knows and supports the farmers’ markets which is not true by any means. As I do not believe that is how it was intended, but more so along the lines of those that do and have supported the farmers; market, but the author could have stated it differently to include those that have never visited one, instead of inadvertently applying everyone has.
4) There are several farmers’ markets in my area. Some have a great set up with all the utilities, ample parking, and indoor space, while others do not have these things. Most farmer’s markets that I visit need better parking, better access to electrical and water, and access to permanent buildings. This would make for a better overall experience and would make things somewhat easier on the vendors as well. In my opinion the vendors should put a committee together to seek out ways to acquire these things, and then have a meeting with all vendors and the local government on how they could make these things a reality.

While farmer’s markets, as argued by Bittman, offer food of the highest quality, help support local farmers, and satisfy the “know your food” quality, they simply are not convenient enough to produce a considerable consumer base. Most people today, bogged down by busy schedules, enjoy the convenience of a one-stop shop, or a supermarket. These people do not have the time to visit a separate location just to buy foods that cost more and taste a little fresher. Small farmers are a vital part of America’s economy, but solely selling at farmer’s markets is not going to bring their produce to the tables of families and thus will not prompt a substantial profit. Small farmers should, alternatively, work with supermarkets who choose to carry locally grown produce or even work out deals with local restaurants. Ultimately, they should bring their produce to the consumer, instead of forcing the consumer to come to them.

Bittman argues that although farmer’s markets charge extremely high prices for their products, their products are worth it. Being able to ask the producer about the product and receive answers based on first hand accounts allows consumers to know what they are consuming. Paying 6 dollars for a pound of bananas, and knowing that they are chemical free and home grown, is worth the money. Being able to access this information can allow people to live healthier lives, and actually eat real food opposed to frozen dinners that may not include real meat. Personally, before money became an issue, my parents would stop at a farmer’s market every weekend. I remember that those fruits and vegetables from the markets were always juicy and full of flavors, compared to the fruits and vegetables I eat now from the grocery store. These vegetables are often not ripe, and tasteless. Also, when shopping a farmer’s markets, consumers know that the products are not genetically modified because each fruit and vegetable has a season. In grocery stores consumers can buy any type of fruit and vegetable all year round. When walking into a grocery store, there are always strawberries. Strawberries are only in season once a year. And for a fact, that season is not the winter.

Farmers Markets produce might be more expensive than the produce found in Supermarkets but it has far more benefits. They last longer as they are healthier and organic. Opposed to that, supermarket food is known to contain pesticides, gmo’s and conservatives.
When you walk into a farmers market you can’t expect to see the same vegetables and fruit all year round. As they are seasonal, if natural, they shouldn’t be available all year round. However, in a supermarket you are able to find all these types of food no matter the time of the year. On the long run, fresh produce might actually be the same price as the food in a supermarket, maybe even cheaper. Since the food lasts longer you should be shopping less therefore spending the same amount or less than shopping at a grocery store.
