We all are in our twilight years of our lives ,,, for most of us we will only vote in 2 or 3 presidential elections at most 4 , I was just trying to point out a possible problem that isin direct conflict of the rules established as a civilized society. I realize we all have consumed some shakey types of food practices. But at our ages we must take every precaution we can. We all enjoy talking about the good ol days of things we have done in the past in an effort to relieve reach back to convince ourselves of the fantasy that we are young again! I try to live in the real world an not test fate anymore than I am required to. Sorry if I offended any koolaide drinkers, I just refuse to stick my head in the sand and accept ithe myth if it is in TV it must be good for me that nothing ever bad happens here..... Not!

There are Positive thinkers: Those that try to see the bright side in everything.

There are Negative thinkers: Those who will find fault where fault does not exist.

There are Realist thinkers: Those that take normal precautions and try to live a balanced life.

Those folks that think Positive tend to be happy most of the time.

Those folks that think Negative tend to be grumpy most of the time.

Those that think realistically tend to live a normal balanced life.

Time to leave TOTV in 2013. Maybe I will check it on an occasion. Not daily. Just too many rants over things that are not that big of a deal and or useless information. Happy New Year to all.

Keep in touch and be assured that there are many more positive Folks here than negative.

AMEN! Put the HAPPY in Happy New Year...

Curious. How does one determine when the venders last bath was?

Funny. Be careful to not buy anything that came from "organically" fertilized fields.....fertilized with cow manure.

I have not been to the market. I do have a question? Is it located on the square? If so, isn't that area marked non smoking? Just wondering.

I also think the baked goods should be wrapped but that is just how I feel. We all have opinions and we may not always agree but we should respect each other.

Happy 2013, let's all have fun and enjoy life.

although I will say that there are different regulations for farmers markets than for groceries.

Hey, I don't want anyone asking me when I last had a bath. We only have a shower at our house.

Really? Monitor TOTV, really?

Why didn't you contact the Sumter County Health Department...........you stuck your head in the sand by not contacting them.

just did a quik look - but i can't find where an outdoor farmer's market is even covered by florida state health code!

Food Hygiene
The Department of Health works with food service establishments as defined by s. 381.0072, Florida Statute to help ensure their products are not a source of foodborne illness. Generally this includes food service operations located in institutional settings (such as schools, assisted living facilities, detention facilities, adult day cares, etc.), civic and fraternal organizations, bars and lounges that don't prepare foods, and theaters that limit their food service to items customarily served at theaters (such as beverages, pop corn, hot dogs and nachos). The codes and standards for food service establishments are found in Chapter 64E-11 (192 KB Pdf), Florida Administrative Code
