Most of the farmers I’ve spoken to at Portland’s “new” outdoor market in Deering Oaks are relieved that it’s allowed to operate. One farmer told me there were tough negotiations with the city who set out to make very strict rules governing the market to address the various pandemic issues of shopping there. Has the city, as it usually does, gone too far? The vendors prevailed and negotiated hard to be allowed to operate in a reasonable fashion.
