Nice article concerning the explosive growth of farmers markets around the country...

Interesting that this article runs at a time when big D is shutting down some of our belove farmers markets...i.e. Celebrations?

I read about Celebration, too. Incredibly disappointing and just shows how tone deaf the city can be. We burn taxpayer dollars on huge poorly-planned developments like Victory, and then when something grassroots like a farmer's market sprouts up, we squash it.
ReplyDeleteFor those who missed it, here's the explanation of what happened at Celebration:

Ryan, I agree, it is clear that citizens want the market, so we need to find ways to make the markets work.
