Re: You think this is a GOOD idea?
I have no idea how you arrive at the conclusion that prices would rise or choices be reduced if a locality had the right to sell these things in the locality itself. By what mechanism?
The ordinance itself can be found here. Frankly, I had no idea that selling produce locally wasn't legal in the first place. My question is why such an ordinance is even needed?
Organic and small farmers around here are constantly fighting regulations that are much more friendly to corporate farms than they are to small farmers. When I go to a farmer's market on the weekend, I get quite a bit of choice.
