Codman Community Farms — Attraction in Lincoln

A few days ago, I bought four bags of young ginger at Codman Farm (produced by Old Friends Farm and sold by Codman Farm) priced at $23.99/Lb. Two days later, I found exact same ginger from Old Friends Farm at Whole Foods Market priced at $9.99/Lb. To my surprise, your price was outrageously high.
