Hi all,
Forgive the cross-posts and feel free to pass this around freely.
New mailing list/newgroup/webforum for Market Farming
Please send to all appropriate venues.
Announcing the Market Farming discussion group.
-----------------------------------------------
At last, a truly practical, production-oriented mailing list for farmers
of
small acreage, owned and administered by farmers of small acreage. The
challenges of making a living providing food and fiber to
consumer-direct
markets from small acreage are different from those of large landholders
both in scale and scope. The consumer-direct aspect, whether to
restaurants, farmers' markets, CSAs, or websites, provides challenges
distinct from the wholesale, packing house, or broker marketplace. We
invite all small aceage farmers, regardless of their market outlet, to
participate in this forum.
We hope to see discussions on appropriate scale production methods and
equipment, marketing and profitability, cropping sequences and
diversification, sustainability, both of the land and of the farm
family,
working with extension agents, private consultants, and fellow farmers,
in
other words, all those things involved in making a living providing food
and fiber from your small acreage.
The technology for this forum is provided by MetaLab through their Lyris
mailing list server. This powerful software allows participation by
either
Web browser, newgroup reader or e-mail, allowing farmers who only use
