Okay, just found this thread, wow.
I am in Henderson, MD. About 5 min. from the DE border.
Anyone interested in setting up a farmer's market that is 1) free to set up shop, 2) without the gov't poking their head in, etc? Anyone sell stuff that isn't chicken related? I love to bake and would love to sell baked goods, in addition to pastured poultry when I have my birds ready to go.
A sort of "waiver" could be posted, or even with required signatures for people who buy only. I've seen that done a lot to protect the small farmer from people who would like to sue for no good reason at all.
I'm really excited about this idea. We could advertise locally and would just need a back-yard to set up in. It could even rotate from one person's place to another every few weeks. Any ideas? If my fiance approves the use of our place, I don't mind except I have very little parking space. Plenty of room for tables though... And I would expect some other people to offer their places if they have the room as well, so we can brainstorm which location is best (or use several locations, as I mentioned).
