> Some are overpriced and upscale, some are cheaper than your local chain grocery store

Some also sell imported fruits and veggies...

Indeed. I've seen bananas at the farmers market, and I don't live in Hawaii.

One local farmers market puts in significant effort verifying that the farmers are indeed local, including visiting the farm. People still show up with trucks full of identical pies, swearing they spent all day baking them.

Some have vendors who appear to be farmers but are people who buy produce at the food terminal like grocery stores and sell it at the farmers market.
