Gert and I are not interested in disrupting the CFM in any way. The CFM will be our home until the end of November. We want/need the CFM to be very successful in the rest of it’s run at the Currie Barracks and then we wish the CFM the best of luck in the future.
Ken and I had a talk about this two weeks ago. Ken gave me his word that the next few months would be very civil. I am taking his word on that. Ken also spoke of this at his Local 201 talk last weekend. Calgary will have two markets in the south (okay… 3 including Crossroads. Correction again…. 4 including Blackfoot) for a long time. These markets need to have a good working relationships with each other. And yes, the CFM has treated Gert and I very nicely since FFWD Weekly broke the story.
The CFM has had some bad press in the past. Quite a few people think it was undeserved. I think the Calgary Farmers Market has a great opportunity to show the city of Calgary what kind of a classy organization it is by how it treats the new vendors of the Kingsland Farmers’ Market.
