Is there a town or county buy-local movement in your area that you can sign on to? if not, are you interested in trying to get one started? Around here, there's a "shop [local town or county] first" slogan; and various communities do varying degrees of publicity for their local products. Also, many of the local farmers' markets require produce to be from their own county or an immediately adjacent county. Maybe you could frame your farm stand signage and publicity in one of those fashions -- "everything here is grown or made in X County", for instance. You could also put the exact origin on signage for each product; and maybe for something like the potatoes a sign saying "grown on Y farm in cooperation with A farm, labor supplied by both farms"? If somebody asks for more detail, you could then supply it. Just throwing out ideas here as they come to mind; apply your own judgement to them. -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 6A now I think Fresh-market organic produce, small scale On Jul 16, 2014, at 8:45 AM, Richard Stewart wrote:
