There’s yet another article about Sappington Farmer’s Market in the Suburban Journals today. Nothing new particularly, but this one does crack me up thanks to the quote the Suburban Journals decided to put in the article.
Frequent Sappington farmer’s market shopper Mary Toler, of Webster Groves, thinks the change is just great.
“I’m glad and I always think it’s better to keep buy local, so I think this will be an even better change.”
“I get mostly produce here because it’s cheaper than going to another and paying a whole, whole lot” she said. “It’s amazing. A whole bag of grapefruits are like $3.99 and at another store you buy a grapefruit and it’s a dollar. It’s a good deal.”
Nothing says local like grapefruit!
