This market-farming list also serves community, backyard, market
(small or very small scale), homestead, sustenance and self-sufficient
gardeners, though the main thrust is market farming. What you are
interested in is, to me, extremely important. The
community-foodsystems list is not nearly as active as this one so you
may be better served involving yourself in dialog here.

If it would get used I would gladly start a new list for small scale
market production, community gardening or homestead gardening.
Earlier I had envisioned one that I would name homestead-gardener.
Maybe community-gardener would be worth the effort. In this context
community would = backyard, micro market, urban/suburban/rural
homestead and actual community/cooperative gardening.

What do you think?
