Maybe so, but I’d still think it’s more convenient to occasionally visit a local farmers market than to move to another continent.

Moving back to your home continent is easier than staying at a foreign continent though, so if the new continent was worse you of course leave and go back.

I was living in NYC. The farmers markets I visited were a joke. The produce was double the price, and it was more of a "lifestyle" decision to go to a farmers market and post on instagram rather than actually do shopping there. In my native country, farmers markets are default, most people do their produce shopping there, and the farmers markets are found everywhere.
