Let's calculate the unit price (price per pound) for each store.

1. **Farm Fresh**:  
   \[
   \frac{3.20}{4} = 0.80 \, \text{dollars per pound}
   \]

2. **Local Eats**:  
   The price is given as a complex fraction: $\frac{1}{10} \div \frac{1}{7}$, which simplifies as follows:
   \[
   \frac{1}{10} \times \frac{7}{1} = \frac{7}{10} = 0.70 \, \text{dollars per pound}
   \]

3. **Martha's**:  
   \[
   \frac{9.00}{9} = 1.00 \, \text{dollars per pound}
   \]

4. **Nature's Delight**:  
   The price is already given as $0.85$ dollars per pound.

### Comparison of unit prices:
- **Farm Fresh**: $0.80 per pound
- **Local Eats**: $0.70 per pound
- **Martha's**: $1.00 per pound
- **Nature's Delight**: $0.85 per pound
