It's unfortunate that the current state of the economy has to cause this but I'm glad it's happening regardless.

People buying and supporting local, healthy and sustainable goods is the only way to build a strong society.

Delicious and efficacious!

Pax to all.

To whom it may concern:
How much did Glenn Moore get paid to take those pictures? Those farmers are supposed to be Starving farmers, trying to make a buck. What we need is some answers.
Does some of this money they make buy up old buildings in towns all over America? Example the Grand Theater.
Ask Charlie.

To whom it may concern:
Buying local is OK but some of this produce is coming from hundreds of miles away. That's not buying local.

Mr. Benigno,
You know so much history about Tracy. I buy at the Farmers Market every Saturday, but who is Charlie?

Candy's pies are wonderful too

To whom it may concern:
If you don't know Charlie I can't help you. You must be new in town, I will stop by the Farmers Market so we can meet. Ask around when you get there, they will know who I am.
