> One possibility is to go up on booth fees, so the price cutters either go
to other markets or up their prices. To keep from hurting the regular
growers with the increased booth fees, rebate part of the increased fees to
those who stay all season.

> We're having a meeting in 3 weeks to amend the rules for a market we
started in North Georgia last year. Some of the vendors are retired and
selling well below the retail prices in stores because they "don't need to
make any money." This has a negative effect on farmers who depend on sales
to make a living.

> I know this is a common problem at markets. Have any of you out there
addressed this with rules or pricing structures? I would appreciate any
info so I can take a number of possible solutions to the members/vendors to
consider.
