Nan,
    That is very encouraging that people came around.  Sounds like you did a fine job of presenting.
 
    We are forming a growers' cooperative here in our county - going along with a natural foods cooperative we are forming, and a processors' cooperative we are forming as part of an incubator shared use processors community kitchen project.  Cooperatives, cooperatives.  It is very exciting! 
 
    What is your growers' association?  How will you support one another?

Thanks to all who wrote to my concern about allowing reselling of (non-local, non-grower) produce at our soon to be farmer's market....I forwarded your comments to the fledgling board and though they initially thought that perspective was not valid, they ALL eventually came around -so we are grower only!   It was touch and go, with me being the lone voice in the wilderness (with all of you, of course, behind me!), and after giving them all the info, I just sorta dropped into the background...guess that gave them room to decide for themselves....
 
we currently have more customers than growers....this should encourage new folks for next year.....and we just formed a growers association for mutual support - very exciting in the land of monsanto....
 
thanks again, y'all
