Upon reflection I think I was unfair to suggest the market manager's are being lax. They work very hard, everyone behind the scenes of the market works hard, so I apologise for that comment. We enjoy vending at all of the markets we attend and wouldn't be selling produce with out them. My point didn't really have anything to do with the market managers so much as that I worry when purveying happens at the markets it hurts the sales of the farming farmers, as well as ruins the concept of buying fresh, local produce, which is why I think most people shop the markets. If shoppers at the markets catch on to this happening then why would they come to the market if they know it's the same stuff they can buy at the grocery store?
There are so many wonderful growers out there trying to make a living at this, why bring in people who are reselling what they are buying from someone else?
Also in regards to the past post - blueberries are in season now. They weren't in season and were being sold at the markets when I had originally intended on posting my grievances.
