Because almost everyone ends up with more than they can use and it would be a chance to see what stuff other people grow.

    Of course there’s a fee, running the thing isn’t 100% free. Probably about $20?

      If it was only a small daily fee then it would be perfect for trading seedlings but you have to reserve a booth for the whole season (the fee is about $300 btw) and you have to pay a fine ($50) if you’re late setting up your booth or don’t give 48hrs notice that you won’t be at your reserved booth any of the days it runs.

      You also apparently need a sales tax license to participate.

      In other words, like I said our farmers market is only for businesses. If you go stand in the corner and trade seedlings then you’ll probably get kicked out
