Farmers Market: Not Locally Grown

The images below are from April. 

The contract with the borough all renters sign states that we must be open for business each day the Market is open and that we must sell what we stated we would in the contract.  Consequently, some of the farmers and fruit growers buy produce from area wholesalers in order to stay open and keep their stalls.  All the produce and fruit has to be grown in the United States, however.  Most of the warm weather and tropical fruit and vegetables come from Florida, Louisiana, Texas and California.  I think the pineapples are from Hawaii...or, maybe, California.
