Do you have farmers markets? How often are they open? How are the prices? What do you buy there?
Where else do you buy food? Is any of it made or raised locally? How do the supermarket offerings compare in quality, variety and price to your farmers market?

Pretty lucky in Melbourne, While the duopoly of the supermarket giants is crap, there’s a huge number of farmers markets around, plus a few indie supermarkets that specialise in local supply.
