A couple more points:

The atmosphere is totally different. Instead of tense competition, and
anger at cheaters, we have a feeling of family, cooperation, we are all in
this together. Friendly competition, but helping whenever needed. It's
such a joy!

The older market allowed only farmers from the resident county (even though
product could come from anywhere), we allow any Kentucky farmer, and already
have 5 counties represented.

We had a lot of free help from customers and consumers - legal advice,
PSA's, artwork for ads/posters/etc., grant writing, accounting advice,
performers
