Healthy soil and sustainable growing

This problem is one I've mentioned before - not enough growers for more markets. It's L.A. but as I said I've noticed it in our area.

Has the farmers market movement peaked?

   "The problem has been that the number of markets has grown faster than the number of farmers to supply them and the number of shoppers to buy from them."
   "It also found that sales at so-called “food hubs” — independent groups and businesses that connect farmers with consumers — grew dramatically. These would include direct sales to restaurants and feeding programs such as school systems and hospitals."

Only problem with that marketing approach is much lower prices than direct to customers at markets.
