Tell the folks that want to bring in anything they
haven't grown to go open up a store and compete with the other stores in
town, The only difference between store bought produce and peddler
produce is that the store takes better care of their product. Farmers
markets are about fresh locally grown not some out of season imported
product. Those people only want you there to give legitamacey to their
presence. The out of state product will kill the market because the
customer can get as good or better at the grocery store. The market must
be 100% vendor grown or you need to organise the farmers who agree with that and
have a real farmers market seperate from the peddler bunch. Peddlers
definition of raising produce is loading it on the truck. You don't want
to be around those type of people because it will creat anger and bitterness
listening to their lies. I could go but I'll quite before I get
excited. I love people who come to market with the best they can produce
and are proud of their labour. Goodluck and fight for what's
right.
