Farm Stand Scams

By Alex Morrison on August 2, 2007

A Treehugger article from earlier today warns against the dangers of supposedly “local” farmers selling very un-local products. The writer, somewhere “on highway 11 just North of Orillia”, stopped at a farm stand with signs promising “Ontario Corn” and “Ontario Blueberries” only to discover a California label on one of the plums at the bottom of the basket he had purchased.

The lesson: pay attention to what you buy. Remember that not everyone is looking out for your best interests.

Is that Farmer Really Selling Local Food?
