Tony and Amelia's produce should bring in $200 price tag for a litter of pigs, but this is their first farmers market, and they're facing stiff competition.

Customer: Hey, you want to buy some stuff?

Customer: Hi, yeah, um, yeah, I'm actually looking for honey and eggs.

Amelia: Today we have a lot of eggs, and we have a lot of honey. We've got some Locust and some Wildflower honey.

Customer: Okay, I mean it looks pretty great. I'm going to, I think, look around and, you know, do a lap through, and I might come back.

Amelia: All right, well ours is the best, so come on back and get the best.

Customer: Sure, okay, yeah, well have fun looking around.

Amelia: All right, thank you, we'll be here.

Tony: You're harassing the customers much? Maybe I should just let you do it.

Customer: Are these organic?

Amelia: Um, these are free range, and then we feed them some dumpstered bread. We get free bread, and so we feed them bread.

Customer: Okay, interesting. And then what's this, like, soup mix?

Amelia: Um, no, this isn't soup mix; this is dried oyster mushrooms.

Customer: All right, what's this? $12?

Amelia: $12 each.

Customer: Yeah, I'm going to, I'll be back. I'm just going to—

Amelia: All right, we'll be here. Thank you.

Tony: People keep saying I'll come back.

Amelia: Well, everyone wants to check out the big room first. Sounds like we have some competition over there. There's people selling eggs and mushrooms, there's a guy that's got a whole table full of mushrooms—the mushroom Guru, he's here.

Mushroom Guru: Hi, how are you?

Customer: Good. Where are you guys from?

Mushroom Guru: We live about half an hour north of town.

Customer: Cool, cool. Are you guys doing any other markets just yet?

Mushroom Guru: We're just getting our feet wet, yeah, giving it a try, trying to make some cash money. But, um, I'm here for eggs though.

Tony: Eggs? We got eggs!

Amelia: The thing is, we do have lots of eggs. Tell a little bit about your birds.

Tony: Sure, yeah, we have a type of chicken called Black Sumatra. They are a smaller size game and show bird. You can see these ones that are a little smaller; those are the younger birds. They're about 6 months, and then as they get older, the eggs get a little bigger.

Customer: Cool, yeah, well I will take a dozen eggs please.

Amelia: Okay, great. They're good eggs. There you go, so it's $4.

Customer: Thank you.

Amelia: Take care, something, huh?
