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.
