Another indication of the problem we've seen: more markets without more real growers tempts market managers to allow "resellers" or "crafts" or non-local produce just to keep up vendor fees enough to keep the markets going. Customers start realizing it's the same stuff as the grocery, so why bother - or they won't show up for a stupid flea market. So we're more & more limited to the one genuine local market, out of a dozen in the general area. Our market had to ban one outfit that turned out to be nothing but a distributor for "orgqanic" produce from the Central Valley in California. On 2/11/2015 12:20 AM, herb farmer
