Buying Clubs are in a town near you!
If you are interested in finding a buying club, give Crown O'Maine a ring. We have helped buying clubs get started all over Maine. This week we have had a Calais club join in, a Porter club, and a Caribou club, and a Kittery Club. Clubs are on the way in Fort Kent and Alfred. Clubs exist in Steuben, Blue Hill, Portland, BANGOR, and many other places.

I also thought I would share a project I am working on(http://www.buyingclubsoftware.com/). We hope to have it ready in early 2010, and will be working with the Portland Food Coop to test out our new software specifically made for buying clubs.

Share your experiences, thoughts and questions about consumer buying clubs.
Cassie, I agree with the below messages - go to the Dept of Ag website or call someone there and find out what you need for a license depending on what you sell. I sell perennials and it is a quick form and it comes back just as quick. I carry liabi…
