Shepherdstown Farm Market I

I don't know if this market has gone downhill or i just learned more. Last year there were rumors that were quickly confirmed that a vendor had been posting ...lets say racially insensitive to be as nice as possible. Anyway, a vendor was posting basically a bunch of conspiracy stuff on an account linked to their farm. It's a small community of locals , many of us were really upset about the content and that this behavior was not just tolerated but defended.

I tried to go to the market this year, despite the offensive vendoe returned. It just was hard to support the management. I found I can purchase from ACTUALLY LOCAL farms easily outside the market. This way the farm makes more profit...they pay a decent amount just to set up at the market. And many of the vendors are as offended as us regular customers at the management decisions.

One thing they should do is limit the range...most markets consider 75-100miles local...they extend to 150 miles. Sorry, but that's not local to me.
