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.

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?

Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me
privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of
commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They
know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so
interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above
their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
Woodrow Wilson
"Don?t expect the sky to look the way you remembered it any time soon. The
government has forfeited the skies and militarized them on your behalf, with
your permission, and with your money. They are up there every day putting their
weapons and poisons in place and experimenting freely, in plain sight, with the
gusto of kids on Christmas day. And we, the public, has given them our
blessings through our non-action due to ignorance and indifference. Here?s is a
fraction of what is going on in the air right now."...Carol Pellatt
