Marc,
I was questioning the idea of farming without a profit goal.
Rick W wrote: "I can not imagine anyone going into market farming for the
money."
While I can relate on a certain level about the idea of doing what you love,
hoping enough money will follow is kind of naive. Enough of a profit is
still there to make living possible otherwise you'd be filing for
bankruptcy, welfare or something of the sort.
I don't have a six figure income. Wish I did. What I know is that such an
income comes with its own price. For me to make that kind of money in my
line of work would require being on the road 4/5 days a week. I'd never be
able to garden much less run a market farming business. I wouldn't have
much of a life at all working like that.
I don't believe that anyone who is running a small farm is doing it with the
idea that profitability isn't important.
Well, I suppose this thread has turned into several sub-topics.
Anyone want to discuss the legality of limiting competition at a farmers
market? Didn't Indiana just get nailed for limiting out of state
competition within Indiana? Is it Ohio that does not allow out-of-state
growers to sell at their farmers' markets?
Outside of space limitations, is it legal for a government sponsored farmers
market to limit entrance into the market?
