The storefront of Mofaco in St. George. After drag performers operated a booth at the store during holidaytime, members of the municipal council are meeting this afternoon to consider scrapping the city's sponsorship of Downtown Farmers Market, which is also run by the store owners. She added the waivers her market receives are the same or less than what other Utah cities grant to farmers markets in their municipalities and enables her to keep booth prices low for local farmers, startups, and artisans who otherwise couldn’t afford to sell their wares.
Contrary to assertions made on social media, Puzey said ads for the booth were confined to Mofaco’s Facebook page and newsletter and were not put on the Downtown Farmers Market Facebook page or in printed ads organizers handed out. At Farmers Market events in December, Puzey and Tiller said, members of Your Health Freedom Dixie began protesting and disrupting the market, accusing organizers of discrimination.
Since buying the farmers market, its size has nearly doubled, going from about 30 vendors in Ancestor Square in St. George, where the event used to take place, to more than 100 vendors on a good weekend at Vernon Worthen.
