Isn't the image I'm sharing supposed to be what a Farmer's Market looks like when you go to shop? For years, the Hermosa Beach Farmer's Market has sold hard candy. You know, the kind that you find at Cosco or your local grocery store.
I want my kids to grow up having an image in their mind's eye of the picture above. An image where they think of local, fresh produce and hand-made items. Not an image of candy laden with high-fructose corn syrup, dyes, and artificial ingredients.
I wrote a letter to the local Chamber of Commerce and the issue received support from other concerned parents. Today I received word that there will no longer be the sale of hard candy. It's the little victories that really do make a difference.
If I had a horse, I think I'd get on it and ride off into the distance. :)
