You should try giving each popsicle its own 2 seals and not have 2 pops share a seal, that way none will bite the dust and it wont take so much attention to separate them.

Hey, I love that Farmers market. the location is perfect. the vendors are good, They have handwash stations and doggie friendly waterbowls. Not to Mention their frequent chef presentations etc. Here is their Facebook link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/San-Antonio-TX/Pearl-Farmers-Market-San-Antonio-TX/61940585937?ref=mf</A>

I did have some general questions of you guys who have experienced farmer markets in other cities and states:

1. Do you know/think that your vendors engage in price fixing? I heard a disgruntled vendor with an abundance of tomatoes not being able to set their own price because every week they meet all together and decide what prices to charge for what produce so that vendors with smaller crops don't get shortchanged that week. I found that to be a little unfair to the customer.. after all they do have price fixing laws in the real world. My suggestion for this is to work directly with a farm and develop a relationship there, so you don't have to shop from them at the farmers market.

2. We purchased some produce without inspecting it thoroughly, namely corn and watermelon, and it was all unusable! Have you guys even encountered sub-par produce from local vendors?

3. What are other places policies on selling prepared items. Such as Peach cobbler, this peach vendor was not allowed to sell pre-made cobbler to customers, they had to order it a week in advance so it could be a prearranged exchange.

Anyways. All in all a nice place.. But nothing beats growing your own vegetables! Everyone should learn/try.

Funny thing is that in Germany the paste always comes in this form and it is seldom found in the can form, go paste in a tube!
