During this turmoil lets support some of these vendors: Dorothea and George Barker run a farm in North Andover where they are waiting to harvest several tons of corn for five nearby Market Basket stores that they regularly supply. The couple, in their 80s, sell almost $60,000 worth of corn to the chain a year, but they can’t get their urgent calls to the Market Basket stores returned. At Pleasant Valley Gardens farm in Methuen, Rich Bonanno said he has lost $1,500 selling vegetables at lower prices to buyers for other stores instead of directly to Market Basket. A supplier to Market Basket for more than 30 years, Bonanno has $200,000 invested in a crop of mums that he expects to deliver to Market Basket in a few weeks.
