> We've worked hard to keep our Market rules simple and direct.  We try to
stem off problems before they happen.  Our primarily enforced rules are
1. No reselling 2. All products must be locally produced (within the
surrounding counties.)  Opening these 2 rules only opens a bag of worms.
 As far as not allowing in local farmers with stands, it's no business
of the Market where else local farmers try to scrape together a living.
