I agree Dori. When we started our market, there were local produce stores
that wanted to be included. I really objected because I could see the
potential for this abuse and because I knew that most of their produce came
from wholesale (out of region).

My summary remark was that if we let the produce stores into the market then
we ought to invite Walmart, K-mart, Eagle, Kroger, Jewel...and every other
retailer into the market. I mean, the produce stores already have a retail
location. Why interfere with the farmers' market?
