Reminds me of the farmer's markets that come here in the spring, summer and fall to Harvard Square in Cambridge, whose residents are overwhelmingly very wealthy: they sell some vegetables and fruits, but they also sell pricey leather and suede tote bags, condiments, over-priced honey (not raw-- I guess it's no longer legal), jewelry, gourmet breads and so forth.

This looks like a standard co-op of the Midwest to me: grass fed meats(I think out there they tend more toward kooky Weston A. Price-ism), many family farms with seasonal and/or organic raw vegetables and fruits, small-scale natural bakeries, natural body care products. I imagine out in the Plains it's much like here in the Great Lakes region--a pathological inability to not turn everything into a craft mall : ) Let's give them a hand for trying, eh? They're doing a better job than most of the South. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
