All the checking, complaining, defaming, buying out, etc.,
does nothing to improve the image or value of your farm
output in the eyes of the prospective buyer shopping at
a farmers market.

Changing the attitude of the consumer is more likely to
put additional real dollars in your pocket by allowing you
to charge and get higher prices and leave the market
early after you have sold out.

How you do this varies by location, total market size and
your willingness to invest money in marketing and advertising.

Every season that goes by and finds you doing things the same
old way is likely to produce the same old results.
