What's the deal with supermarket produce?

Erik and I buy our fruit and veggies from the farmers market, when possible. This past few weeks, however, there's been no farmers market to buy from. So I bought a bag of apples from the supermarket. I can't even explain how flavorless and icky they are. They're slightly bitter, too. And an apple from the farmers market is tart, sweet, flavorful. It's not a difference between organic or non-organic. It's the difference between picked when ready and picked way early and ripened in transit.

Lesson learned- farmers market all the way, baby.
