Problem locating marketing opportunities for sustainably grown produce.
I have 4 acres worth and have no idea where I will be able to sell,
at any price, most of what I can grow. This has a lot to do with long term financial security.
The answer is to develop a local and regional production and services marketing and exchange network
and coop and CoOp CSA(community supported agriculture)/CSS(community supported services)/CSP(community supported
production), owned and operated by the participants. A true support network. I would like to be involved in starting
one of these in our area, Central Piedmont NC.
