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
