way back last year, there was a source for plastic bags for folks who were selling mesclun and other greens....i saved it, but a virus had wiped out my archives AND I could not locate the thread when going through the market farming archives (i used plastic bag, salad bags, as ways to search)
 
i could be doing the search wrong, but anyway, if anyone knows a good source for bags - not the ziplock kind, just ones you can close with a twistee (especially if it is the type of biodegradable "plastic" bags i saw in a salad video once) I would be appreciative.....
 
had our first meeting for a farmers market in our town....yipppee.  But then they started saying that growers could also buy from out of state and bring those veggies and fruits in as well and I stood up with an impassioned plea to make it strictly locally grown, but got voted down....HOWEVER, I am on the steering committee and may be able to be influential (and the two big guys who wanted to bring in extra tomatoes or whatever they don't grow may not show up.....)
 
i will go back and reread all the great stuff you all wrote from your own experiences in starting and maintaining farmers markets.  I also have extension folks in a neighboring county who have been part of a successful f.m. for 10 years and they agree, locally grown, with local grower selling ONLY.
 
maybe every group has to reinvent the wheel (hope not)
thanks, nan in n. mississippi
