Different towns, different laws, different populations and different ideas
on what to buy. The famous Farmwoman's Market in Bethesda is under roof and
can sell baked goods and carry out, but the outside ones cannot. No
restrictions on eggs, but maybe in TN there isn't a market for them?
I can buy hen, turkey, duck and goose eggs as well as the birds on the hoof
at part of mine. I can buy chicks, ducklings and goslings, too, to rear at
home. Quail, partridge etc, yes indeed. I don't however, as they
immediately go behind the truck and murder them and that's too true to life
for me.
I can buy porchetta and raw sausages as well as artisanal cheese from
neighboring farms, but no baked goods at all.
In other areas there are big fish stalls and barrels full of grains and
legumes. I think those are places where supermarkets are not yet king.
