I too live in East Tennessee where we have local farmers and a great Saturday market in town. It’s grown in size but I fear all our vendors are NOT honest. I look at the hands of the farmer selling his produce. If his hands are smooth there’s no way I’d buy from him. I do ask questions and really put them on the spot. My husband and I do a small garden each year and I read a lot of articles on veggie and flowers so I know what is grown around our area.
