TRANSCRIPT
Here in this country we don't really bargain for our produce. When you look at the price, that is the price that the farmer has determined based on supply, demand, and hard work he or she put into growing that food. Any sort of good deal is up to the discretion of the farmer. Typically, those happen at the end of the market days. They're getting ready to pull out, don't really want to take home any leftovers.
