Allan,
The Wyoming Fresh Market in Cheyenne is a growers only market. We are entering our fourth season and despite some challenges the market continues to grow. Our customer base is loyal and expanding all the time. There is a statistic somewhere that talks about for every dollar spent locally on local product it returns so many dollars to the local economy. That is not very helpful I am sure but you may find it on a Chamber website somewhere, If I can dig it up I will pass it on. Good luck!

I'm really interested in talking our town council into supporting a
grower only market here. Although I can find many grower only markets
advertised on the web, I can't seem to find any succinct 'grower only
market' philosophy laid out, something that I could show the town
council, something about how supporting local growers is good for the
entire community. I thought there was actually a 'grower only market'
advocacy group operating out of PA, but I haven't been able to find
hide-nor-hair of that group.

Can anyone help?

thanks
