I know many sell at farmer’s markets or from farm stands, but the farmers in my town are often growing many acres of a single product and i know they aren’t selling them all from the stand. There must be some produce brokers or something that by the bulk of their yield. Who are they, where can one be found, and what are they called?
Who do farmers sell to in bulk?

Food Prices /Farmers/Agriculture/ $15.00 for 100 lbs of peanuts?
Just a curious thought for the night:
I recently moved to a rural area (I’m a city kid), and have wondered why I can buy a 100 lb. sack of peanuts for about 15 bucks or 50 pounds of dried corn for 7 bucks, but when I go to the store for food, there is several magnitudes of difference in price. It seems like there could be an untapped market for bulk food straight from the farm. But, experience tells me, if it was that simple, someone would have done it.
