We have two producer-only markets on private property with no government
involvement. The ones on government property tend to be told to allow
resellers, flea market types, etc, especially if they are friends/related to
a politician. We pay rent, insurance, etc, but are pleased with the freedom.

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.
