Greetings,
Locally, I am in the same boat, that is why we drive 2 hours each way to 
a real farmer's market in a large city.  However, we are working to 
educate people and we are finding a few customers that used to drive to 
the same market we sell at.  Slowly, we are growing a market for out 
food, and hopefully, some year we can sell closer to home. 

It is a slow process, but selling in the city gives us the means to 
survive until then.

Bright Blessings,
Kim
