Why does nobody talk about the connections you make at weekend farmers markets?

Landed a steady veggie supplier after a quick chat by the tomato stand.

Totally get that. I struck up a conversation with the guy at the garlic stall last fall, just asked about his growing methods. We ended up setting up a weekly order for my restaurant. That direct line is way more reliable than any distributor.

But what if his crop fails and you're stuck without garlic that week?

Keithbutler's point is fair, but my market guy just texts me if something's off. Got a heads up about a pepper shortage last month, so I could plan around it.
