Food market owners plan to support local farmers
From page 1
"The meat we
get will be in
most cases an
. Ontario product,
because what we
want to do is sup-
port the local
farmer as much as
we can."
Buying local
produce was also
something that
was complicated

for the Knechtels
because they had
to adhere to what
the national fran-
chise was bring-
ing in and that
sometimes didn't
match • with what
is being grown on
the local level.
"We will defi-
nitely be support-
ing a lot of the
local produce
throughout the
summer," said,
Knechtel. "We -
will also , have a
buyer at the pro-
duce terminal in .
Toronto that will
hand pick the
fruit that isn't
available locally
throughout the
year."
The Knechtels
believe that being
independent • will
give them the
chance to pick
and choose the
produce they
• want on the . local
and national level
without being
limited by a
national fran-
chise. . Not being limit-
ed by a national.

Knechtels believe

in the flyers.
Hacing the free-
dom to put what
they want in their
flyers is impor-
tant to the
Knechtels
because they felt
tied down by
some of the prod-
ucts they had to
list in the flyer
due to what the
national franchise
wanted.
"I guess local
interests are .not
always there
.when you are part,
of a franchise
program," said
Knechtel. "The
primary interest
of the franchise
company is not
always the same
as the interests of
the small commu-
nity. They are
more concerned
with driving in
the bottom line."

term, I think what
