Organisers of farmers' markets say they've seen a big increase in customers as distrust in supermarkets grows.Farmers' market organisers say an increasing number of Australians are cutting out the middleman and buying direct from producers.
"People can come here on their way home from work and just drive straight through without getting out of the car and pick up whatever they've ordered," Mr Price said. "It has shed a lot of light into the industry and what we face every day as farmers around price gouging and retail prices versus farm gate prices," she said."If it can bring a better price to farmers for what they're doing, it will benefit us.
"I think whilst there's a lot of focus on the major retailers, people are looking for bargains and they're becoming more conscious of seasonal produce buying in season," he said.Producers say farmers markets also bring a sense of camaraderie to the industry, especially during challenging times.
