I am a grower in AZ. and would like to confer that our farmers markets in the Tucson AZ. area are definitely holding their own in this rough economy. One of the bad things about our area is that there are not enough growers to supply demand for fresh, local food. We can barely keep up with supplying the markets that we do and more markets are springing up all over. We have plenty of room to expand on our farm but we have to go slow due to money and time restraints. Folks need to realize that if we continue to leave our food choices in the hands of big Gov. and big buisness, we may one day find we no longer have a choice in what we eat or how much we can have.(if any) Blessings, Jim Dumas Cochise, AZ.
