I was going to post this in the Market farmer's forum but than I thought it would make more sense here



Dear Friends,
On Tuesday, Sept. 11th, 2001, as the first plane hit the World Trade Center
in New York City, approximately 25 market farmers had their produce displays
set up at the WTC Greenmarket at Church and Liberty Streets. These market
farmers come in from Long Island and upstate NY, NJ, PA and MA. The WTC
Greenmarket had opened as usual at 8 am. EST.

It has been reported that the WTC Greenarket master, Tony Mannetta and all
of the participating farmers & their helpers made it out alive - but most of
them lost all of their vehicles, displays, produce, cash and personal
belongings.

Insurance coverage for these losses is limited at best. Your help is
desperately needed, so here is what you can do to to assist the farmers who
escaped but are suffering due to Tuesday's tragedy -

Please write a check or money order payable to
"Fund for the WTC Greenmarket Farmers" and send it to:

The Farmers' Market Federation of New York
2100 Park St., Syracuse, NY 13208

The website for The Farmers' Market Federation of New York is
http://www.nyfarmersmarket.com - contribution information and possibly
other means to help these farmers will be posted there within the week.

This market and other NYC farmers' markets are listed at
http://www.localharvest.org. The various downtown NYC farmers' markets have
been cancelled for the time being. The World Trade Center Greenmarket is
listed at http://www.localharvest.org/listing.jsp?id=2919&hit=1
