Hi Lynn
   
  One way I've heard that works in selling organic food is to sell shares to 
people (usually city folk) for a regular stream of whatever you produce.  Are 
you close enough to an urban centre for that to work??

I NEED a business partner...a salesman (er, person...but I'd prefer a man

fresh air and sunshine of country life any more so he moved back to the
city and I divorced him. I'm trying (still) to make the farm into a
business. Now I depend on succeeding, or I'll have to go out and get a
REAL job (ack!). The beef business is doing well, but the market garden
part isn't. I can grow wonderful heirloom vegetables, but can't sell 'em.
We started a new Farmers' Market, but it's not up to speed yet with
attracting customers..and I need a lot of steady customers to make a
living farming.

There are no urban centers anywhere near here. There is someone running a
CSA (the 'shares' you mentioned), and she seems to be doing OK on a fairly
small scale (8-10 customers). That's something I'm looking into, along
with some kind of farmer coop, selling to restaurants or even having a
year-round store selling all local foods.
