Hi, up the road about 1/2 a mile is a woman with a small fruit stand - makes fantastic sales. She's growing on one acre and her father has a small farm. The problem is that in order for her to sell so much variety she and dad have been going to other farmers and buying their produce (tree fruits and berries and some vegies) then selling at the fruit stand with large organic signs everywhere in about a 1/4 mile radius. They even bought non-organic blueberries off the backend of a semi-truck from Vancouver (a large metropolitan area in BC). He tried to sell some to me and said the lady up the road just bought some for resale.
I just want your input as to your thoughts on this and how you would handle it . Mostly it just irks me. I had a customer who had just put a bundle of money down on purifying his body (has cancer) and was looking for organic, last year I instructed him that to sell organic one must have a certificate and he can ask to see it. I don't like to see innocent people get hurt. Jacqueline
