I understand that farmers cannot grow everything and they may not be able to sell everything at the farmers markets they attend. I see nothing wrong with farmer 'A' selling to farmer 'B' who then sells to me. At least that is the way my local farmers market works sometimes. As long as they know who and how it was grown, it works for me.

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.
