Slow Food Tallahassee wishes to express some
concern over the following markets. There are many who are participating
by buying from traditional, conventional, industrial farms and selling them in
the “market” setting. We applaud the occasional farmer who
attends these markets and the occasional times when these markets purchase from
locals. ASK A
