I love the idea, for a number of reasons:
a) It subverts the political blah-blah and places the food back in the hands of the people.
b) It would be an awesome way for people to raise capital for thier food ambitions. Be it soup, BBQ, or preserved goods. Anybody ever gripe about Steve R's Jerky? Hell no! A total cult following, that man has. Sooner or later, you'll be able to pick his wares up at a retailer! Nice.
c) Freedom of Creativity and the Purest Form of Free Market- I'll do what makes me happy. You like it, buy more.
I'm not such a fan of the fees paid to the organizer, yet with the size of the markets they were talking about. Well, I guess it is justified. Starting out, it seems the organizer should be a participant and should recieve free product from the bretheren.
(but that's just me)
