There are currently five weekly Farmers’ Markets in town. Does Lawrence need more?
Asked at Farmers’ Market, Sixth and Wakarusa streets on August 20, 2010
“I think that we have an adequate amount.”
— Kevin Irick, professional fruit/vegetable grower, Linwood
“Yes, to support all the local growers.”
— Maria Petersen-Williams, nurse practitioner, Lawrence
“With the five that it has, and considering the population, that should be plenty.”
— Josh Lingenfelter, para educator, Lawrence
“No, I think they need a permanent Farmers' Market, not year-round, but one that meets every day during the season.”
— Loren McVey, self-employed, Lawrence
