Allow people to buy from farm and fisherman stalls

The Issue

The Bermuda Shelter in Place regulations allow farmers and fishermen to continue to work, but their stalls are not classed as "permitted businesses" for people to purchase from.

It is much healthier to buy fresh local produce from an open air stall, than it is to buy imported goods from a windowless shop.

It is also a blow to local farmers and fishermen if they cannot sell their produce, at a time when we need to be doing everything we can to support local food supply chains.

The regulations need to be amended to allow  people to purchase local produce from open air vendors
