Oh yeah, we have people who sell out of the back of trucks here or have
a roadside stand, usually near flea markets.  But, that is not the same
as a real farmer's market, and while this is an option for me, maybe the
only option, the thread was about FMNP and WIC markets, and these little
low key things wouldn't qualify.  Have you read what it takes to qualify
to sell your produce in a FMNP market?  They want an arm and a leg, lots
of monitoring, certification, etc. ad nauseum, not to mention the
distance to travel to one of their authorized markets...  I think it
would be more trouble than it is worth, at least in my state, but it may
be easier for Lynn in PA.
