Mar 3 2010Keeping It Fresh, March 2010. This month’s edition of Keeping It Fresh features an interview with Mike Broadhust, a farmer and the manager of the Cambria Friday afternoon farmers market. I asked Mike to fill us in on some of the issues and history behind the controversy with the San Luis Obispo Thursday market conflict between the farmers market association and the Downtown Association. He is on the fringes of the heated battle for control of the farmers market, but has some interesting perspectives on keeping farmers markets healthy and effective parts of the community.
