I'm really envious of people who come from countries where farmer's markets are a real thing. We have a tendency to get really bureaucratic and follow every possible food and healthy regulation to the last dot. This has driven our food market almost entirely to the large grocery chains. So, finding a real farmer's market in Finland requires a lot of effort.
Enough whining. Very nice pictures, everyone. You probably understand why I'm not going to contribute much to this thread...
We too have strict laws, Jarmo.
Essentially. They want honesty. The produce must be grown by that farm and if they say it's pesticide free, that better be the truth. However, there is a lot of trust and I don't see inspectors demanding exactly which field in the farm some crop was grown or taking away samples for lab analysis. But perhaps this is done on a random basis and we don't notice!
Well, I was going to say, come to Los Angeles, but onltvin Setubal will you also get a genuine fish and seafood market that will explode your mind!
