<p>This is great information, everyone. I have a question about the use of plastics for storage and display at farmers markets. Have any of you growers received feedback from purist customers on plant- v. petroleum-based bags and storage containers? Are your customers concerned about the produce making contact with non-food-grade plastics?</p>

<p>I have not really looked in detail. I am going to go back to the site that I had posted originally as well as look at Restaurant Depot or similar places for the bio-degradable plastic type produce bags. Also interested in some small containers to hold water so as to sell live plants that can be kept live for some time so as to use them "Fresh" (Basil & Parsley).</p>
<p></p>
<p>Let me know if you had any luck :-)</p>
<p></p>
<p>God bless,…<br></br> <br></br></p>

<p>We did a market or few and festivals. Gina you have come to the same conclusions as us. The only reason that we are not selling at a market is that our immediate neighborhood is consuming all of our produce. Granted our farm is small at just 1000 sqft of grow space. If we had more space we would need the local farmers market.</p>
