Have to wholeheartedly agree....we run our market by what we laughingly
call the Matriarchy.  We are 3 women who run the whole show, set and
enforce the rules, deal with all advertisement, determine and book events,
everything.....no one complains.  We run it and run it well enough that
everyone does well.  People fight for spots....

Sorry to say farming may be quite rewarding but almost anything is more
profitable.......Sora at Paradise Valley Organics.......
