Great! That's a good price. I picked up a couple jumbos at Trader Joes for 99 cents each. Snob Hill is overpricing at two for $5. Sweet corn is starting to show up. Unfortunately most all of it is probably GMO (damn Monsanto). At the farmer's market there are strawberries from Watsonville at $4 a basket but I buy at another booth which has Brentwood vine ripened strawberries for $2 a basket. The Watsonville price used to be $2 a basket. It was owned by a woman who had her nieces and nephews sell berries at the farmer's markets.
