Hi Jane, We are not selling to farmers, vendor, or farmers market - we are just letting people know about a free resource for marketing their farm and/or farmers market. I am on the Marketing Committee for MIFMA and I also work on Real Time Farms, and thought it would be a good thing, for particularly farms to know about. The website gets the whole community marketing for their own farm.
