I also like farmer markets because they do support smaller farmers as well as diversify our food supply chain. Many growers are industrialized and that has squeezed out some smaller farmers. Organic helped them find a niche. Having markets like this allows a more direct relationship between the farm and the consumer as well as provide another source of obtaining food during COVID like shutdowns (They may be in the past but we should learn from the past and diversify our food supply.)

Ocean Beach Farmer's Market: Fresh and Sustainable
The other day I frequented the Ocean Beach farmer's market.
Yes, I love to hang out with the beachy people in my flip flops and bermuda shorts but am not a great surfer so I feel a little like a poser. To be fair I can surf but not a very good one. I get up and fall down. Not withstanding my poor ability to grab a good wave, I walk on the beach regularly, dine, dance and other activities next to the water. Those activities include frequenting the OB Farmer's Market to stock up on fresh produce,
have some delicious food and every once in a while, buy something from the
small consignment clothing distributors.
