Don't you all love the people that come to a market to get rid of inventory (
cheap).


Then change the rules of your market so that isn't allowed. 
1) Make the rules state that plants must be grown by the seller for at least 8 weeks before it can be sold.
2) Allow only local farmers to sell at the market.  (It makes a great marketing tool, too!)
These are positive changes for your market because customers like to buy from the grower and know that it supports local farms.  It will help the market become known as a quality establishment with vendors who provide great customer service.
