Bounty of the Barrens Market
Sustainable Glasgow Board Members: Jerry Ralston, President, William Travis MD, Dan Iacconi, Suzanne Barrow, Louise Mann, William Ray, Joe Trigg, Sarah Shirley, Kristin Hildabrand, and Andy Moore.
FAQ about Bounty of the Barrens Market 2015:
The market will be in its winter location at the Barren County Cooperative Extension Office, on second and fourth Saturday mornings from now through mid April!
We are going to have some very cool enhancements to the 2015 market. We are reworking our layout to allow the vendors to be closer together so it is easier for our patrons to visit all of the vendor tents. We are also happy to announce that we will have a special guest vendor each Saturday -- someone with some special item that is not normally seen at the market. We will have more on this later.
Want to be a vendor at this year's BOTBFM? Click here for information about becoming a vendor.
NOTICE!
Keep monitoring this spot and our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/sustainableglasgow for information about upcoming music performances and other events at the market.
We also have a Facebook page now for the market at www.facebook.com/botbfm check it out too!

Discouraging a little bit but what should be more of a concern for us is the realistic economics behind the average customer's decision on what to eat. We have run into this issue in Louisville and Glasgow, high quality/cost produce will sell(painfully) but low cost high quality will sell faster. If a compromise (controlled greed) can be brokered to provide low cost/high quality sustainabile produce sustainability will work.

I guess that is the mission then...educate the locals about the values of eating locally, but also create vibrant markets that allow producers to do enough volume to keep prices low when compared to the cost of importing food that is "marinated" in diesel fuel.
