Did you not notice:

Farmers from the West Georgia Co-Op also bring produce to help supplement what's offered at the small stand.

What part of teaching children how to be citizens includes breaking the local laws and regulations? Just because they are young and cute doesn't mean the adults don't know better and should not obey the law.
