Farmers’ markets failing due to saturated market, NPR reports

Nationwide, the number of farmers’ markets increased from 2,000 in 1994 to more than 8,600 in 2019, which, according to a report from National Public Radio’s The Salt, led to a major problem: There are too few farmers to populate the market stalls and too few customers filling their canvas bags with fresh produce at each market.
