"When you come to a farmers market, when you go and you buy direct from the farmer, you're cutting out the middleman," she said.

"Then it's wrapped in plastic, and it's wrapped in paper. And then you take it, and you check it out, and you put it in an extra plastic bag," Wielechowski said."So, when it goes, there's all this plastic that's used.
