 This month's notes: May 2008: Spring is here!: strawberries are here in the deep South and are peaking or fading in California, Texas and Florida!  Find a strawberry festival near you! And see mid summer Blueberry festivals here. Organic farms are still not common, but any that are, have the word ORGANIC by their name!

Please tell the farms you found them here - and ask them to update their information!!!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

  1. Q. If I own a farm and need to correct information on my listing, how do I do that?
    A. If it is minor changes (a phone number, adding a website address, delete something, just use the form above.  For numerous or more complex changes or to re-write your listing, use the add-my-farm form!  
  2. Q. If I am a customer, visitor or friend/neighbor of the farm or event and want to make a correction, how do I do that?
    A. Just use the form above!.
  3. Q. Can you tell me where to find organic ________?
    A. The information about each farm that I found from government agriculture sources didn't include organic status.  I have requested it from the farms, but they are slow in responding.  As they reply I update their listings.  If it doesn't say "organic", it is safe to presume that it isn't.  For 2006, I am identifying organic farms with a green "ORGANIC", so they will stand out.  And in the improved search engine (see question 2) I will enable a "include only organic farms" option, too!.
  4. Q. How long does it take for the changes to appear?
    A. Obviously, I need to verify that the changes are correct, which means verifying that the person making the changes really is the representative of the farm, or that a visitor or customer's changes are correct (You would believe how many times I get emails saying "this farm is closed" because the customer got lost driving and ended up in a neighboring subdivision. I actually make 99% of changes within 24 hours. I'm trying to keep this free for everyone. I don't charge either farmers or consumers (or anyone else). In order to keep it free, I do 100% of all the work myself, in my "spare" time, so it takes me a bit longer (the baby needs some time, too! :).  Keeping this resource free for all has been a priority of mine, along with ease of use and accuracy of the information!

Keep the suggestions coming!  If people want it, I'll do it!
