There's a difference between markets and farms. Farms cost money to run. Markets do too, but they have a wide variety of products to cover the cost of costs. Farms do not have soda trees, cereal trees, tuna trees, etc. These are the things that make stores the money required to cover the loss of the agricultural and dairy products that are sold at a less than cost loss. If the prices at the markets are lower than the prices on the farm stands, than someone in your community was screwed by a big brother corporation and your government that represents them. #FoodForThought

Early Golden originated in Fonthill, Ontario where it was discovered as a chance seedling, and it is likely a cross of myrobalan and Japanese plum (possibly Shiro or Burbank). It has since become the most popular yellow plum in Ontario. Despite its Canadian origin, this is actually a Japanese plum. Early Golden is one of the first plums of the season, ripening two weeks before Shiro. It is a small golden plum with a pretty, pink blush and sweet, rich flesh. It is firmer than Shiro and less easily bruised.

There's no such thing as a Duck Berry Health Benefits of Gooseberries Flavones and anthocyanins are compounds in gooseberries found to have numerous health beneficial effects against cancer, aging, inflammation, and neurological diseases. Rich in antioxidant polyphenolics and vitamins, the fiber content constitutes 26 percent of the daily recommended value, which has the ability to prevent colon cancer. Gooseberries also contain a healthy dose of scurvy-preventing vitamin C – 69 percent of the daily value, and nearly 20 times the C in oranges. And get this: gooseberries lose none of the vitamin C nutrition in the cooking process. A wide array of other vitamins and minerals, plus protein, superoxide dismutase, and omega-3 fatty acids make this little berry exceptionally nutritious. A comprehensive list would include vitamin A, folates, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5 - for healthy adrenal glands), pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), and thiamin (vitamin B1), as well as the minerals calcium (to prevent osteoporosis), magnesium, potassium (to help balance blood pressure and balance acids), copper, phosphorus, and manganese. The iron content maintains good blood circulation and red blood regeneration. All these compounds are meaningful to the human body, but in more understandable terms, benefits include diabetes prevention and control by stimulating the body's ability to produce insulin; strengthened heart muscles; antioxidant power for slowing the aging process; and cataract-correction due to the retinol in the vitamin A. Gooseberry juice is also said to improve skin tone, prevent and restore hair loss, and rejuvenate for a general feeling of well being. However, consume gooseberries in moderation because they contain fructose, which may be harmful to your health in excessive amounts. The Indian gooseberry - amla - has been used in traditional Indian medicine, called Ayurveda, for millennia. Clinical studies suggest it has a positive effect on Alzheimer's disease, but on prevention, rather than cure. Another study showed gooseberries to block breast cancer cell growth and metastasis potential in vitro. They also may have anti-cancer properties, as well as cough-, fever-, pain-, stress-, and diarrhea-suppressing effects. To gain these health benefits of gooseberries, however, ways to make the sour berry more palatable is an ongoing conversation.
