My response would be: “My partner and I grow these.”

Subject: Re: [Market-farming] farm stand security We
are looking to put in a brick and mortar operation on our farm once we get our
honey processing and kitchen facility up and running (we were just site approved
for septic so we are still a LONG ways off). In the State of Ohio you are
allowed up to 49% of the product you sell be from off-farm. I plan on
taking full advantage of that. Now most of that product will be things
that include ingredients FROM the farm but not all and all of the raw/fresh will
be local (not auction) but 100% will not be mine.
We currently do several a things with our neighbor, including selling their
sweet corn and them selling our honey (cash never changed hand we swap honey and
corn). We are joined at the hip so much as doing potatoes as a joint crop
and everyone selling and taking a share. We provided better equipment and
they provided better, sandier soil. Now we are growing about 6 different
varieties. I never once touched them on planting or harvesting end, but I
sort bag and ship. How do you describe that to someone interested in
simply sourcing locally grown?
