What Borough Council giveth, it can taketh away.
After an unnamed vendor threatened to sue over his exclusion from the Farmer’s Market, the Council voted to take back control Tuesday. Producer-Farmers, who had been given control of the market in February, were angered by the decision.
Association members Lois Stringer and Whitney Duley said they were shocked and disappointed to receive notification of the vote Tuesday morning.
“I guess there’s nothing we can do,” Duley said. “I thought it had been going extremely well. We got some new people, and we got some really nice products in.”
I hope things resolve for the best. Personally, I insist on knowing the origin of the veggies I eat. I’d love to see everyone label their produce with the state and county of origin.
Better still, Borough Council could enforce their own producer-only ordinance and tell this litigious vendor to get lost.
