Speaking of price fixing.... Where I grew up is a moderately sized Market. Maybe 50-60 vendors? Something like that. Anyhow, all the vendors have nearly identical produce with identical prices. Sure, this vendor might have peaches, and that vendor might have apples, but every vendor that has the basics, Tomatoes, Peppers, Beans, Squash, etc, has nearly identical products, and identical prices. I dont know if they have an unspoken rule, or maybe an enforcer with a baseball bat, but it is what it is.

this sounds like the West Side Market in Cleveland OH... go and you will find every vendor with practically the same produce.
Yes, I bake. I bake bread and cookies for the markets. I started with it when I started markets to fill the tables and not that I really have time but I still bake all day Tuesday and all day Friday for the two markets... and I make Jam in the Fall as soon as I am done with markets.
