THREE BASIC RULES
(1) A Farmers' Market is an edible market (no arts, craft, bric-a-brac)
(2) A Farmers' Market sells edible goods produced within a defined region ( EG: 100 or 200 KM radius from the market place - not from Australia or China)
(3) A Farmers' Market sells edible goods produced within a defined region, sold by the producer, or somebody involved in the production (No middle men, wholesalers, retailers, etc... )
