Why we are an "incubator" market
Here's an interesting article for those of us who are interested in making sure we have local food. What it tells us is that farmers markets are wonderful, but they are not enough to make sure that our local food producers stay around. The Northwood Farmers Market hopes that all of our vendors, and especially those who start out with us, go on to become vibrant businesses that will provide local food and other products for us all for years and years.
