Here's an interesting piece from Mother Jones magazine about 'how' Farmers' Markets are growing around the country.

It reminded me a of a piece that our Boulder County Farmers' Market manager, Katie Bauer, wrote last summer for Edible Front Range magazine.

The Durango Farmers' Market also has rules against the re-selling of produce, and protects the Market for the actual farmers.
