This is an update to the saga with the farmers’ market police on tuesday.

We do three farmers’ markets on Saturdays. Logan does one in the town of Auburn, about 45 minutes or so from the farm. One of the board members of that market let Logan know that rumors were spreading through the market about us. they were saying that we don’t grow all the food we sell. the board member assured us that he/she believed us and that we should take the rumors as a compliment.

Compliment taken. i cordially invite any grower out to our farm right now to see all the food we are producing. We don’t work 90 hour weeks for nothing – it only seems that way when you look at our paychecks. Oh no. we have tomatoes, melons, and everything under the sun producing in grand abundance right now. It’s not necessarily pretty, but it’s all there and we grow it all.

So, apparantly we’ve made waves at our markets. We feel honored that other vendors and growers are paying such close attention to us. It really fires us up to have these rumors going around. It makes me feel like we hit another level in quality and production.

I also have one recommendation to the grower(s) that indulge in such childish behavior (like spreading these rumors):

1. get a life. this is just pathetic

2. farm more. Maybe if you produce more you can take a higher quality and quantity of product to the market and people might actually buy your stuff. Also, if you farm more, you’ll be too tired (like us) to engage in this kind of nonsense.

3. act your age. we’re all adults. if you have a question or concern, just ask us. we’ll have you out to the farm and alleviate your concerns.
