Ouch! That is adding insult to injury. With our recent new market that a few
of us have formed, we decided that reselling was generally not permitted
except as an incidental thing.
Could you possible start a new market in your area? On a different day?
Our new market is 14 miles from the farm and toward the major population
center in our area. We are having it Friday afternoon from around 2 to 7 pm
or around those times depending upon demand.
Has anyone tried a time like that? Was it successful?

We have a very limited site, so no one can have much more than just barely
enough for one vehicle and table. We expect a maximum of 12 slots.
Sincerely,
