Fitler Square Farmer's Market

[szekely]

Today was the last day to get eggs, raw goat milk, etc. from Joseph (Sunnyside Dairy). :-(

I think the grass fed beef vendor is shutting down as well, though she may be there for a couple more months.

Seems like Big Agro and Monsanto are winning; the small farmers are losing.

The farms are shutting down, or they are just leaving Fitler Square?

What I heard was that Joseph Mack is done selling in the city, but the farm is not shutting down.
The grass fed beef farm in Medford, NJ will also continue, but they need a new butcher.
As I understand it, there's a financial problem with the former and USDA harassment of the latter.
