You don&#39;t have to be so petty and try to put down one measly corn seller. people like you make me sick..http://www.blogger.com/profile/16343288250911563573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777594846712445966.post-67113362633311381342010-06-24T21:31:52.168-07:002010-06-24T21:31:52.168-07:00Natasha, Deborah-<br /><br />I think the market turned them down because they use mainly processed ingredients (except for the corn-which isn&#39;t processed, but it certainly isn&#39;t local because there&#39;s no local corn available yet.)<br /><br />The issue, as I understand it, is that the market puts a lot into building their infrastructure and these guys are taking advantage of the marketing and outreach that the farmers&#39; market administration has done. I don&#39;t think most customers can even tell that they&#39;re not part of the market because they&#39;re set up so close. <br /><br />Also, for better or for worse, this market association strictly limits the number of prepared food vendors that they allow at their markets because they believe that the events should be focused on farmers. Those of us who are vending there have worked for years to build relationships and establish seniority.<br /><br />But my point is really that it&#39;s just not a black and white issue.Devrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14288343763430736154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777594846712445966.post-27279157472173441682010-06-24T12:28:14.558-07:002010-06-24T12:28:14.558-07:00So have the necessary permits, are allowed to be there legally, what&#39;s the problem?Deborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11307655708184499601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777594846712445966.post-38105870450716454582010-06-24T11:39:24.432-07:002010-06-24T11:39:24.432-07:00Curious as to why they were turned down by the market folks and why they&#39;re not wanted nearby.NatashaJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06142273073238025374noreply@blogger.com
