Farmers Markets Need Farmers

As an indication of how well the local food movement is doing, the Boston Globe today has an interesting article on how farmers' markets are having difficulty finding enough farmers. This helps explain why we see things like local bakeries, coffee companies, and Taza Chocolate vendors at the markets - they help fill out the available space as well as offering a nice variety of goods to shoppers.

Farmers are also making a lot more of their profit from farmers' markets, which is extremely cool. But clearly, there's a pressing need for more local farms in Massachusetts. Anyone care to start a farm?
