I just started buying produce from aussie farmers direct.. The best fruit I have had in years.
on our way home from Blackstump's place, we came across many 'stalls' on the ssidfe of the road, and in servos. same as you found, really good produce
With Coles/Woolies telling farmers to phuq off, Im surprised that the Farmers Federation hasnt stepped and supported having these markets regularly.
I mean something has to be better $$ wise than dozing it into the ground isnt it?

Yep, I don't have the time for the markets but this seemed a happy medium. I was skeptical at first around cost, but after a few weeks our shopping bills appear similar, not only the fruit, but milk and bread is fresh too.  The biggest benefit is the kids are eating it flat out which before they wouldn't touch it as much. The convenience is great open the front door at 6am on a thursday and its theer fresh

My nearest rural city (Dubbo) has markets every weekend.  The stuff is often priced similarly to store bought, but I'm much happier paying a farmer that money direct than them getting bugger all and Coles/Woolworths pocketing the difference.
