Good points MP!
I went to our market yesterday too! I was impressed to see several different vendors there. One was an Organic Farmed smoked Salmon, another was an organic tea and marinade business from Berkely, and I talked to some people at the Hatch Edible School Garden (The Heal Project) who plan to have a table there on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the market as a project for their students and to benefit the program! The Farmed Salmon guy thought the market seemed to have a low turnout.....not sure if they will keep coming back.
It really pays to support the famers market to get new vendors coming back.
