Sometimes people lie about stuff to make money?? Good god, I hope corporate grocery chains don't learn about this ancient and secret power! Imagine what they might do!

Seriously, that article kinda buries the point about how few people doing it they were able to find - yeah it was happening, but it's absolutely not some common behavior you can expect at a farmer's market.

(Edit:) Other great quotes from that article:

In California, for example, each stand is inspected and vendors are required to display a certificate that outlines the produce they grow. No reselling of wholesale or out-of-state produce is permitted and markets are inspected by the state on a quarterly basis. Vendors who are caught breaking the rules can face suspensions, fines or even jail time.

Ed Williams, the man in charge of inspecting markets in Los Angeles County, says the system is important to prevent fraud and ensure "the consumer is not getting ripped off."

Seems like the conclusion of the article is "we (canada) need to get our shit together, look even the US has this figured out"
