I've seen some sellers at farmers markets in the city buying produce from the central distribution point downtown and re-selling as locally grown. The issue is that we don't know where those veggies were actually grown. We pride ourselves on selling locally grown produce.
For sure I want the local grown stuff. We get enough produce from our gardens, now that I don’t have to go to the farmer’s markets except for a few bulk purchases for some of the plants that fizzled at homw.
