    It’s because there they can sell them what they actually cost to produce instead of being forced to sell at a loss by the food industry.

      That’s not an incentive for people to shop there. Grocery store prices are already bad enough. No one wants to pay extra money for a more limited selection.

        It is an incentive, just not price. People can choose to support a food system that provides a better living, less environmental damage, and other priorities. More people could choose that if they had more disposable income and I don’t fault people for defaulting to price when making purchasing decisions.

        I also much prefer the system that leads the farmer to kill himself. I can save money!
