Farmer's Markets - A Start

I've decided to start a resource which captures my research regarding farmer's markets in order to centralize all the information that I've encountered and to make it easier to keep track of things.  Hopefully, keeping all the information in one place will allow others who are heading down the same path an opportunity to pickup where I've left off.  Here's what I've found so far.
