in numbers, so working together will help all.
Your farmer's market story illustrates that point.
Have any of the vendors made a proposal to your town leaders? Might be a good idea to have some meetings and formulate a long-range plan.
Organic is growing, but the gov't is doing all it can to discourage healthy farming practices. Farmers have to work harder, but in the long run they will develop a significant lobbying power. :)
