I don't see veggies anywhere in the phrase "Market Farming".  I do produce both veggies and free-range eggs for farmers markets and although, I haven't had a question posed to me about soy/corn free eggs at a market, yet, it could happen.  It seems like a fair topic for this listserv to me.

so far this doesn't really have a lot to do with market farming I suppose, since it's not strictly veggies production.

While our production is mostly veggies and we don't have any livestock at the moment, I took "market farming" to mean "farming for direct-market sales", and to include livestock, fruits, herbs, and even flowers as well as veggies.

I don't know how others on the list define the term.
