I'm replying to this on the buying club list, since it's related...

A message Gayle recently sent to list was lost because of an email
problem (which has since been fixed). She said she would like to sell
some of her cut flowers at a farmers market booth for the buying club.
I have since talked with Shirley Adshade-Sponsler, (president of the
Nevada Certified Farmers' Market Association), 746-5024 and she said
she would look in to the possibility of us having a booth for the
buying club and would get back to me...
Her main concern was that an organic group at the farmers market
should not "put down" non-organic farmers. That is understandable,
and I explained that we're mainly just a cooperative buying club. I
also mentioned the idea of selling produce grown in community gardens
at our booth, and she said it was a great idea, but might be difficult
since we would need some level of certification for each garden.

No problem... There has been little posted on the site so far though,
so perhaps we should send another announcement that the deadline for
ordering this month will be Sunday. We might also simplify the
OrderFormat based on the user page only. (Please don't hesitate to
send a message to the list if you want something, but don't have a
catalog to look it up, and need some help...)

Actually, the live (wiki) site can serve as a message board now;
although I am working on setting up some group-ware software which may
provide another kind of chat later, (as well as eventually a database
system for entering and accounting for our orders, which should save a
huge amount of time and tedious/repetitive work in the long run...)
