Not In My Parking Lot
A local resident complained in a letter to the Editor of the Independent that the Thursday afternoon Acton Farmers' market (where I manage the Whole Circle table) blocks her parking spot, and that because they sell hot dogs and popcorn it's not even a "genuine farmers market." In response, the market manager, Josey, put together a basket of products from the various vendors which she later presented to the complainer.
I wrote a letter to the editor of the Independent:
Dear Editor,
Regarding Lynne Simon's "Market Blocks Access" letter to your office
this week, I invite her to stroll among the fresh food vendor tables at
the Thursday Acton Farmers' Market, where she'll discover a variety of
fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and bread. This is indeed a genuine
farmers' market, for which support and attendance from local residents
is appreciated.
Regards,
Peter McClusky
