Guest guest Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 - markjon chatburn Cow (Protection and related issues) Saturday, February 09, 2002 4:00 AM Market Farm Forms All, Thought people may be interested in this: > Templates included are: > Whole Farm Plan I was just in NYC and spent some time at the Union Square Farmer's Market talking to an apple grower. to sell at that market you need to submit a farm plan , and they come out and do a farm visit to verify you are real. So this may be an essential thing to have for someone trying to seriously get into it in a major market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
