<DIV dir=ltr>I read the links and saw nothing strange or out of place Whole Foods, along with the community development folks, fully supported the Farmers' Market in Silver Spring. That's a GREAT thing that clearly shows where Whole Foods' corporate heads are. As you might know, Farmers' Markets are often permitted to sell small-scale foods that major markets are sometimes prohibited from selling without FDA and USDA inspections. (The Farmers' Market at USDA's DC headquarters recently was forced to stop selling poultry because the chix didn't get checked back at the farm, sorta embarrassing for the USDA...)
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>But a Whole Foods, a Riverdale Park Farmer's Market and an expanded version of Dumm's Corner Market could very well have a great symbiotic relationship, together becoming a very busy and attractive commercial and business district. Imagine, "a frickin' fresh food mecca!" right here in downtown Riverdale Park. </DIV>
