Downtown Canton Farmers Market

I spoke with organiser (Ginger) about selling fruit there, everything was great. I show up the next day to sell and are told to leave because they dont want more than 1 vendor selling the same products and I would be undercutting another vendor on price. no real set policy on how they determine who can sell and who can't. was told it was case by case basis. it seems to me she has a personal stake in this and let her friends or people that paid more or maybe she gets a percentage of what is sold. who knows and who cares.. Ginger is stifling the growth of the local farmers market and does not care about it. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for variety or competitive pricing on fruits and veggies or the freshest available. Try cagles dairy or woodstock farmers market instead

We do not charge vendor fees to anyone. I was unsure about your product quality, blueberries not being cleaned and culled. I have never seen blueberries for sale with twigs and leaves. I am not a farmer and apparently this is acceptable. You are welcome to join us if your product is grown locally. I am sorry for the misunderstanding.
