"sandalwood infused exfoliating soap"

Whole Larder Love would like a real farmers market:

"Puddings, pesto, dips, soaps, ‘gourmet sausages’, cupcakes, biscuits, worm farms, overpriced gourmet jams & chutneys, expensive chocolate and other products many involving the word gourmet or artisan. It really makes me mad! What should be at a ‘Farmers Market’ is locally grown primary produce, veg, fruit, local raised meat and game, live chickens, ducks, rabbits, yabbies, nuts, mushrooms, and please more of the basics like bread (We have no decent bakeries in town that are not either a supermarket bakery or a franchised pre-mixed bakery). A farmers market is set up as an alternative for us to buy the basics, the staples that are are product of a local economy. Not sandalwood infused exfoliating soap."

    The farmers' market in Granville on Saturday mornings fits the bill. Ever been there? Good stuff.

        I don't think so. A lot of it is locally grown produce and flowers. You can get other things, too, such as local beef, poultry, and honey, but I think they stop when gardens stop producing.
