Farmer's market strategy

[burritos]

Anyone go to their farmer's market right before they close and try to buy up their not-so-choice leftovers at a discount? I mean, if you're juicing or freezing/blending, doesn't matter if the the produce is bruised or irregular looking. Is this a viable way to buy fresh produce on the cheap?

That's reportedly what David Wolfe used to do - he'd go pick up the over-ripe produce from grocery stores and juice them. I've never tried this strategy, but it seem totally viable.

I have one that does but its mostly non organic produce. My favorite market has the $.49 per lb table. I usually get fruits for smoothies there. Greens are to wilty for my taste. When I did my juice fast I just asked the owners for a discount. Since I would be there everyday. They gave me 30% off.
