Well now I've seen it all. Marketplace did a story about people that sold produce that wasn't local. Some don't even own a local farm. They bought produce from wherever they could find it and sold it at the Farmers Market in Peterborough as if it was grown on their own farm. Some local farmers complained and wanted these sellers to quit advertizing their produce as "grown locally". What did the market organizers do. They kicked out the local farmers who were doing things honestly.
Peterborough Market ousts farmers who complained that some sold produce that wasn't local.
