Boycott grocery stores, start buying from farmers markets

Every farmers market I have ever been to charges 2-4x the cost of the supermarket.

maybe a regional thing. The second closest one to me has stuff about the same if not cheaper price but consistently better quality. The other two have more interesting and unusual things but more in line with your price expectations for a farmers market.

My local farmer's market is so expensive. I can't afford that.

The local farmer's market was found to be selling stuff they bought at the store but with a markup. I think we may actually have to go find some actual farms.
