And, by the way, I think this is a great idea.  Hope it works as a model for others to try.  Farmer's Markets can't be open enough hours each week, in bad weather, or off-season, so they stress the farmers and limit the customers.  Supermarkets don't work as a farmers outlet, so banding together into a guild is a time-honored way to promote common interests.  Of course, it will have its own unique set of problems, but I think it addresses some major "outlet" problems.
 
Combining the store with a restaurant might also provide for a health-department approved commercial kitchen to process produce into higher-value products, which could then be sold in the store.

I second that! 
Her resturant and country store are open now. 
It is only about 35 miles from me!  Will be going soon to try it out.
