When I was manager of the farmer's market here in Lubbock, there were two watermelon farmers. One of them made sure that all the other farmers selling there sold him watermellows. I do not know the deal. He said that customers walk in, buy from their regular farmer and leave. He wanted his watermellow there for them to leave with. I guess it worked as most sold them for him.

Do the farmers at markets buy from, and sell to, or barter with, each other? Or are they all focused on cash income?

Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail. See how.
