might like to have this all in one place for reference and to pass
along to
interested customers & friends:

<market-farming@franklin.oit.unc.edu>

outlets are consumer-direct and local.

We hope to see discussions on appropriate scale production methods and
equipment, marketing and profitability, cropping sequences and
diversification, sustainability, both of the land and of the farm
family,
working with extension agents, private consultants, and fellow
farmers, in
other words, all those things involved in making a living providing
food
and fiber from your small acreage.

The listowners are Marcie A. Rosenzweig, Full Circle Organic Farm,
fullcircle@jps.net
