Recently, these shops have became more popular and increased more and more in Japan. This movement is called "Chi -San-Chi-Syou"(地産地消) . "地" means local, "産" means product, and "消" means consume. It means that people should eat food grown in their area.
In Korea, there is a similar idea called "Shindohuji(身土不二)". This idea is that eating foods grown nearby is good for person's health.
I have learned that a musician named Adrienne Young in the United States has continued a movement to let people buy locally grown foods through the VOA special English. It is so nice, I think, because it has good effect on environment and people's health.

That's pretty interesting. I think 地産地消 is a good idea.
I agree, great idea. I live in Japan - but I haven't heard of this before. Thanks for sharing!

You might have known that there are farmer's shops in Kofu-city, for example, here.
