Market Farming

["Betsy Levy" <blevy AT rsocsun.tamu.edu>]

Hi -

I have heard this comment before, that sometimes customers seem to be bent
on ripping off producers. I'd really appreciate hearing more about this from
producers - it's an interesting issue, since consumers seem to come to farm
stands because they fear they're getting ripped off by other venues - some
are willing to pay more for producer accountability - any stories?
