Gee Phil, I'm also from the mid-west, where (city??) is this market
going to be??
Seems to me you lose all the Farmer/customer relationship by having some
one else do the growing and you the selling or the other way you grow and
have someone else sell for you. This is why I think co-op farming is a
bad idea at farmers markets. MOST customers want to know a personal
relationship with the actual grower, that is why they come. Lots of people
do not like seeing different faces each time they approch a stand.
We do not have any outside help on our farm, we stay small in order to
keep this spirit about our stand.
