Usually, farmers 'A' and 'B' have been working together for a long time. They know and depend on each other as we depend on them.

We are a producers market where I attend. We are to be the producer of said item, not "a purveyor of fine fruits and vegetables". In theory it is a great idea and how a grocery store operates and that is what you expect, but I have a problem with farmer C who just purveyed from farmer A and B (or a produce auction) and claims it as their own and that it is organic, too.
