I don't map those. To hit and miss. I live in a farming area. Apparently the soil around here ranks with the best. A number of the farmers have "farm stands" as they are called locally. Usually it is a separate building with a lock box to accept cash or checks. They have small signs along the road as well as a couple of websites that list the farms and what you can get. I've tagged a few as shop=farm. OSM even has a nice icon for the business. These are different from greengrocers. We have one greengrocer in the area, but I'm not sure if it has ever been mapped. > > -- @osm_washington www.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
