I mean they are buying from a farmer locally. Right. I mean the big shops at Bryan Park are likely bigger.

But also I mostly just visit a couple of the farmers there driving within the area.

If you actually know that then that's awesome. It is not the norm though with those kind of vendors.

That’s one of the reasons we continue to support the r/AshlandVA Farmers Market. Everything sold there is grown within a fairly small radius. Reselling produce is not allowed.

It’s small but it’s a nice market and everyone there is local. We usually grab coffee and breakfast at Ashland Coffee and Tea before shopping. Makes for a nice morning. There are only 2 more markets (this Saturday and next) before it closes for the season.
