O.K. I'm curious.... how much involvement do you expect from local government? (and I'm not just directing this query to Lynn). Farmers are usually a rather independent bunch (especially up here) and don't typically invite intervention from "big brother" types.

What kind of community/local government support do other Farmers Markets
get? Who finds the location for the market? Who finds vendors? Who pays
for signs, insurance, advertising? Who organizes all of this? What role
does the local government, cooperative extension, farm agencies, etc.
play? I'm curious about how it SHOULD work in areas that have good
community support.
