Yes the farmers markets are hit or miss but there are methods to increase the hits. #1; smell the mango, if it doesn't have the super sweet mango smell don't buy it no matter how gorgeous the mango looks. #2 don't buy the really soft mangoes. Also know your mango season. I think it is coming up in about a month, I'm starting to see them on the trees around here. If you buy out of season they are from mexico mostly and your chances of pulling a "miss" are greatly increased.
