Better for CustOmers, tax payee buildings should be <br />used more than twice yearly. Some crops allow only a few days. NO Way tO save. <br />Need cooling area or list of quantity buyers. <br /> <br /> --C. Allan Hough <br /> <br /> We need a farmers market in the Concord area with better publicity than we <br />have now. <br /> --Jolm V. Lentz <br /> <br /> Would like to ace mere wholesale. <br /> <br /> --L, W. Lowder <br /> <br /> The questionnaire ae such doesn't apply to our type of business as we are <br />pro~ucera and distributors of horticultural products. We feel tile farmers <br />market is a great means whereas local producers can disperse their goods directly <br />without the middleman. With the population increasing as'rapidly as it ia, the <br />farmers market can be beneficial to more and more people. Because of the lack Of <br />space, know-how, expense of equipment, time, etc,, the general public needs <br />source for fresh produce. <br /> <br /> · --Melba Safrit (Mrs. Joe H.) <br /> <br /> I Wish to encourage you in your current efforts on the improvement of s <br />Cabarrue farmers market. If there is anyway that I can assist, please let me know. <br /> <br /> --George A. Burd <br /> <br /> Yes, I would support a farmelsmarkat very much. If not for myself, but for <br />Others. I think it ia very important for the farmers. <br /> <br /> --Mrs. Frances Johnston <br /> <br /> If we have extra in our garden, then we may bring something in to sell. <br /> <br /> --MrJMrs John Barrier <br /> Only went once with son to sell excess sweet corn. <br /> <br /> --George R. Hahn <br /> O~r garden is sandy soil. If the weather is dry, that hurts our vegetables. <br /> <br /> --Bill Foil <br /> <br /> Our corn crop goes for cattle feed; however, we have considered sweet corn <br />if there is a market in our area for such. I enjoy shopping at a farmers market <br />because of the availability of fresh produce. <br /> <br /> --Wallace Construction Co. <br /> <br /> <br />
