Market Farming

["Lawrence F. London, Jr." <london AT metalab.unc.edu>]

My apologies to sanet subscribers; I will try to post
as few as possible from there in the future. This one 
seemed to be worthwhile for these lists.

Greetings again, Saneteers!

I am working on another article for Lynn Byczynski's "Growing for Market"
newsletter about how couples can work together on farm projects without
getting divorced.  While we all laugh about this topic and have our own war
stories to tell (ask me about putting up a metal storage shed during a
chinook wind storm!), it's a serious issue, and many relationships don't
withstand the stress of a family business.  I'd like to interview couples,
particularly those involved in market gardening, who have successfully
managed to work together and keep their relationships intact.  I'd also like
to interview folks who weren't so successful and find out what they think
went wrong.  (Names can be changed to protect the innocent!)  ;-)
 
If you or someone you know of would be interested in sharing your
experiences, please contact me by email.  I will then arrange for a phone or
email interview.   My deadline for this one is the end of March.

Thanks again for your help!
