Amen, amen and AMEN ! I have no real problem with resellers like Del,
reselling some for other LOCAL FARMERS, especially as long as the produce
has signage identifying it as such, but the peddlers who are buying out of
season, perhaps from even out of country, and selling it against innovative
FARMERS - that's the problem, and once it's in a market, there is no going
back - only a new market (if your city is large enough to support one) will
solve the problem.
