Sorry for the delay answering you Jay--we started our second day of
market today and just got home. The reasoning is that the bags may have
contained conventional produce thus conventional chemicals which may transfer to
the bag's contents. This is a market rule for the organic growers.
If you're certified you must use new bags. I'm not certified, but still follow
the market policy too.
More importantly, actually this is most important to me--I don't want to
"go down" for a customer getting sick from something that got on my CLEAN
produce in their DIRTY bag.
I do reuse bags given to me by the customer and offer to
reuse bags where possible, but ALL of my customers who are organic
decline the offer in favor of the new bag--I know, I thought that weird too,
especially in light of most purchases being only transplants in the bag
but that's their choice. Many of our customers who purchase our
transplants are making impulse purchases & didn't come to market
prepared with their own bags.
Unless the customer comes prepared with alternatives, I bag with
what I've got and hand it off. I've not read the other responses so
maybe your question has already been answered. I hope this doesn't
start a controversy.

who still must decide if getting up at 3am twice a week is worth
it!
