I say, "hear, hear!" for farmers, in any region, remaining dressed. As I learned in the computer industry (while viewing pictures of a sales club trip to the beach) - some people simply look better with their clothes on! Farmers of the world unite - R. mtlivestock wrote: We used a local photographer to take the photos...he went to thedifferent farms and posed the "nudies!" I'm sorry to say I have no idea who printed them for us. I do know that they sold for $10 each and they were in black and white. The market did a partnership with our local college radio station. Our annual meeting is next week and I'll be more than happy to ask some questions for you.<<<<< Karin, Please post your information on this list. I think this *without the nudies* would make a great fund raiser for many groups. Something like "Meet Your Local Farmers" with new farmers in it each year with a list of all farmers in the group in back. Something like a chart in back with locations, dates of operation, products offered, etc. Maybe a national organization like Heifer Project International or ATTRA could pick in up to help many of us small farm groups get it going with organizational or advertising funds. I specifically want to know what profit margin your group was seeking and if they met that goal; initial investment; summary of advantages/disadvantages. Did it help raise awareness enough to increase buying and/or new customers at your market? I am curious if the emphasis was on increasing consumer spending on local farm products or just raising funds for the market. Just the highlights please. I don't want to waste your time in writing a detailed report for us. :-) <g> **PS: I am not a prude (probably would be the first to volunteer), but the farmers in any calendar around here would need to be dressed. I am thinking of a handout booklet a state-wide group gives out that has farmer profiles and a few recipes in it. I think a calendar would not only generate more interest, but it could be sold for added funds! _______________________________________________ Market-farming mailing list Market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/market-farming Get the list FAQ at: http://www.marketfarming.net/mflistfaq.htm -- Robert Farr - The Chile Man All-Natural Sauces, Salsas, Pesto, & More! http://www.thechileman.com (540) 668-7160 (local No. VA) (877) 668-7160 (toll-free) |
