What is the current market? I thought farmers markets were for growers. Can
someone go to a distribution center and pick up commerical produce and
resell it? How is that all much different than a grovery store? I can see
one person selling for a lot of little farms who might otherwise make $50,
but it seems to me a farmers market should be for farmers.
You're right! (Man, I still never got any pisole!)
But this market has outright produce jobbers. Melons in May.
And the market master stands behind it: We need what people want here all the time to get people in. We need melons here in May for the people who need a melon. Maybe they'll buy some asparagus while they are here."
The market is right in the middle of town and is always filled with after-church shoppers (a Sunday market)
I'm looking for some grower-only program, guidelines, and whatno. Something with a track record Something that shows that "Allan Balliett, the local grower" isn't just making up the idea of a 'grower only' market.
