The strengths of a "farmer's market" are the proximity between producer and consumer, the absence of commercial intermediation and the wide availability of quality products.
Strictly seasonal, fresh and "km 0" products, coming only from the companies of the surrounding area, with particular attention to local specialties and a natural vocation for final consumer savings. The evidence seems to show that prices are lower than prices in a supermarket because the production process is more concise; there is less distance to travel and fewer intermediaries.
