Farmers market people have made the farmers market into a ritual rather than an errand. They go on Saturday morning before anything else gets scheduled. They have a route through the stalls that they follow in a particular order — the vegetables first, then the bread person, then maybe the honey booth where they have talked to the beekeeper enough times to know something about his operation. They carry a bag they specifically keep for this purpose. They are buying from people they recognize and who recognize them, and this matters to them in a way that is hard to articulate but real. They have brought someone to the market and said you have to try this about at least one thing. They believe, based on considerable evidence, that a tomato from the market and a tomato from the grocery store are not the same vegetable. The gift for them is something that serves this ritual or deepens the connection between where food comes from and the table it ends up on.
