    Pretty crazy that imported food is finding it’s way into a farmer’s market in the first place. My local farmers market is pretty stringent on what is allowed and eant proof that your produce or wares were produced within 100 miles of the city.

      It was likely not the final selling point, just a convent place with lots of trucks and people to blend into. May have had one guy with a stall, but it was more likely a place to split it into other shipments.
