California chefs are complaining that farmers who sell through the Santa Monica Farmers' Market are going with guaranteed sales to produce companies rather than wait for the chefs to decide whether or not to purchase their produce.
If the produce the chefs have been buying has become trendy and other restaurants want it, it's not the fault of the farmers if they take advantage of this.
