I buy from local farmer's markets whenever possible. Everything is better. The produce, the meats, the dairy... It's all so good. The price is a little higher than the regular grocery stores, but the quality is worth it.

That's great! I am no longer local to where I was and the ability to do that and what I was doing as in 👇🏻
In fact I just got word from the local fish guy for latest deliveries I can't take advantage off...
It's not that I couldn't go back and have that but it doesn't seem to be what I am meant to or should I'd now... So dealing with the nomadic wanderer path
... Hence noticing a pattern in several towns. 
It can be hard for the local markets to stay in business. Most people shop where the price is lowest, and that usually means the big grocery stores. So the markets have fewer customers, but have to pay the same rents. I'm fortunate that a really good market has thrived in my city, as there's a big population that buys based on quality. But I know it's not possible for many other areas.
