RE: Sustainable: Support Local Farmers and Local Produce to Stregenthen Local Economies
I sell at a couple farmers markets in my area, All of the markets stipulate that you must grow what you sell. I have seen several vendors get busted by the market managers for buying produce and passing it off as their own, just an FYI for market buyers!! Ask questions! Be an informed buyer and get to know your farmer!
I also believe there always be some slick people that will create profit without producing any groceries or animal goods. It depends of culture, country, the buying power of the people and other things.
The idea of sustaining the local farmers is really great but more importantly be a informed buyer.
