Alison,

I talked to a guy from the Fayetteville, AR market during the SAWG meeting
and he
said they were amending one of their rules this year. The rule is that the
farmer
has to be there on Sat. to sell during the market- can't send an employee.

Some have complained that this keeps them from valuable work time. They're
planning to change to allow a farm employee or family member to sell the farm
produce, but the primary farmer must come once a month, minimum.
