Salt Spring Island may be pretty close.
We just did a record $1,400 market, in which we sold carrot cake made with our
own carrots, eggs, and raw goat-milk buttermilk; low-sugar fruit preserves from
fruit from our farm; 37 varieties of heritage, open-pollinated tomatoes;
seasonal relishes and salsas made with our own pear cider vinegar from our own
pears; our wasabi-flavoured raw goat milk cheddar cheese; and numerous other
heritage, open-pollinated fruits and vegetables, all grown without the use of
chemical pesticides or chemical fertilizer.
If your local farmers market does NOT support "food [that] is both an art and a
tradition," go ask each vendor why not? Why should they compete with the
big-chain grocers, growing varietals, hybrids, and GMO'd products whose best
claim to fame is being able to be shipped long distances?
