Brandy Broot volunteers at the Maplewood Farmer's Market when a week of spoiled produce triggers public outrage and accusations that the town's popular CSA, Greenway Share, sold rotten boxes on purpose. Claims escalate into a fraud investigation, threatening small farms and community trust. Brandy follows soil, delivery receipts, seed packets, and grudges to find whether this is sabotage, accidental contamination, or a cash-for-fast-sales scheme. Peter steadies Brandy, Maeve handles formal procedure, and market vendors reveal alliances and rivalries beneath their cheerful stalls.
