Re[2]: Help! Model Ordinances, Direct Marketing Farmer Surv
i think cary may be correct in the assumption that there would be
little profit incentive to haul compost to farmer's market and sell it
there.
but i do think that the innovative farmer's markets might have one or
two vendors who would be interested in hauling the organic waste from
the urban/suburban folks back to their farm. don't ya think?
this idea really speaks to local food/nutrient webs!

Clarence, while it would be acceptable to sell compost at a farmer's market,
it would hardly be economical.
