Don't you all love the people that come to a market to get rid of inventory (
cheap).
Doesn;t seem to find a way around these kind of people, had someone show up
this year with trailer load of Herbs aand selling at dump wholesale prices.
What a joy? I wish that more people that sell at farmers market use this for
their sole income, if they did things like this wouldn't happen so often.
This give me two competitors selling herbs , bought form some outside source,
and it is really getting hard to make a profit. The vege market here has
always been bad for people buying from wholesalers and selling their stale
produce really cheap, but people have kind of caught on to their game and
have came back to buy fresh produce. But cheap plants is another story.
