That is a great idea, Lance. Strangely, the organic delivery business has never
made any effort to say hello or do networking - I am not sure what that means.
And I get too busy to go chasing people down. But one day maybe someone will
pull that obvious link together!

Tying the drop off box into the already running 'coastal organics' business
would be wiser than a bunch of people driving around to deliver their own
boxes, no? It would probably boost coastal organics sales a bit if they could
offer something local in each box, I know that kale is actually a decent cash
crop all winter plus its one of the best foods we have here. Plus, the date
and time of box packing is the same every week so people would know where and
when with little difficulty.

Hi, all - I am just working on logistics and issues for this spring's
Microfarm Forum (Feb 24) and am looking at last year's "problems" to see how we
have progressed. Our major issue seems to be pushing capacity up in small lot
gardens to the point where there is enough to sell "off farm".
Next, we have two farmers markets on a single day, and nothing throughout
the rest of the week. At the very least, it would be interesting to return to
an idea where public could order stuff from farmers, farmers could drop off
boxes at designated private addresses along the highway where they could be
picked up.
The Abbott were also working on something where locals could drop excess
off with them, and they would sell it. Any point is tossing any of this around?
