Is Trader Joes produce subpar

FWIW - this time of the year about 80% of the produce we buy is from farmers markets.
I'd estimate that 99% of the produce I buy is from a farmers market. As we go to a market 4 days a week, I never buy more than what we need for a few days.

The closest TJs is 100 yards. We buy very little there anymore.
 
Move to a place that isn't nowhere:

"But according to the Freakonomics podcast, an analysis by AggData found that Trader Joe's stores are located in counties where the household median income is about $10,000 higher than the average median income."

"Households in Kempton, IL have a median annual income of $52,083, which is less than the median annual income of $65,712 across the entire United States. This is in comparison to a median income of $49,464 in 2018, which represents a 5.29% annual growth."

You don't choose Kempton. Kempton chooses you.
