Why a lot of big city farmers markets suck

Yes, everything I grow today is landrace, or heading in that direction...

People sometimes tease me about being a "bad salesman". Whatever. I think raw tomatoes taste horrid, and if someone asks me my opinion about how my tomatoes taste I'll tell them honestly, and offer a sample... Besides, how can you trust someone else's taste buds? And how do I even begin to describe the flavor of fennel? Or okra? Or lagenaria squash? Sometimes I say, "It'll only costs you a dollar to try something new. If you like it, I'll have more next week. Oh, and by the way, I have seeds to sell.".
