Why do organic plums taste so good?

Really? The weekly one over here (Central District) usually has at least one guy who has beef and lamb, several fish sellers, and I think maybe one who did poultry - but I can't remember.... They have a big deli style case, but I can't for the life of me remember exactly what was in it.... I don't recall anyone with eggs though. The weekend one in West Seattle definitely had meat and poultry the time I went last year.

I don't know about Washington, but in Oregon, you won't find dairy at a farmer's market unless it's pasteurized and in that case, you might as well buy it at a local grocery anyway. Farmers are not allowed to sell raw dairy away from the farm where it's produced. I believe there is an exception for raw cheese from a certified dairy, but not for milk.

We do see eggs and different meats regularly at the local farmers markets around here. (and honey and produce and flowers and jams and etc....)

In the NYC Greenmarkets farmers can sell cheese made from raw milk, but not the actual raw milk itself. The only milk sold there is pasteurized. Plenty of raw sheep and goats milk cheeses in addition to raw cows milk cheeses.

Lots of fruit growers sell there but I don't think any of it is organic.

Plenty of lamb, chicken, duck, turkey, fish, and grass-fed beef farmers/vendors. Chicken, duck and ostrich eggs. All local. It is a really wonderful Greenmarket.
