...but apparently there are poseurs at the "Farmers Market".

I never did like resellers myself. Allowing folks to go in a commercially harvested field and load up the picked over trash and culls and haul the junk to town ruined the Atlanta Farmer's Market. Makes it about impossible for the little guy.

yeah it sucks, but it is one of the pitfalls of a capitalistic society. Down this way there is also a battle over resellers but when asked most of these farmers buy their beef from a grocery store. Seems like they buy from resellers when it saves them money. there are several vendors who sell their beef at the market.
