Director of farm marketing for the city of NewYork said there are not enough
farmers coming into the city to fill the need.
This year a woman who specializes in setting up farm markets came to our town
and thought that since we have over 500 commercial size fruit and vege farms
that it would be easy to establish a farmers market.
She was mistaken, it looks like the market will fail, most all farmers ship
throw wholesale channels and those of us with produce markets don't have the
time or labor to set up at the city market, besides we have all roads to the
city covered with our own markets, we would be competing with ourselves.
Some have said we should add crafts, a custard stand, a pizza stand, live
music, anything to bring in people, but without farmers its not a farmers
market...Bob.
