I am SO glad that you are educating people on this topic. Here in TN there are many markets where this sort of thing happens. Vendors who sell produce that they buy from Walmart the night before. It is simply fraud. It is hard to find a TRUE farmers market that both prohibits "reselling" and enforces "local producers only." The average shopper has no clue what should or should not be in season at any given time, so it's easy for unscrupulous vendors to take advantage of that." Education is so very important. Great job on this article.!
