Market Farming

[Allan Balliett <aballiett AT frontiernet.net>]

Thought I'd ask this one again, but somewhat differently, since it 
may have been lost in weekend mails.

It's hard to imagine two replies to such a question on a market 
farming discussion list.

I'm asking this because we are a long time CSA that neither has 
farmers market sense nor has had time in the past 10 years to visit 
farmers markets. We are doing one local market, primarily to support 
the town. Of course, simply doing a Sunday market creates all sorts 
of expenses, so I want to do what I can to keep our prices as fair as 
possible for both the farm and the shoppers.

Ironically, we can't spare enough staff this never-ending-2007-season 
to comparatively shop at the market we do attend!



Thanks
