Hi Cassie,
For insurance, see your current agent and ask for a liability rider to cover you at farmers' markets.
For permits, see the Maine Dept of Ag permits page for such things as processed foods.
Links to a few [farmers' market aware] insurance…
Thank you for the responses. They have been very helpful.

We hoped to be located in the AmVets parking lot/field, (across from Hodgeman's Frozen Custard) right on rt. 100.

Are there any in the Oxford Hills area? or the Lewiston / Auburn area? I have cut flower bouquets (in season) and think a buying club is a great idea.
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…
Thanks Sue couldnt remember the phone#. Its a process is all Im saying
Cassie, your best bet is to be in touch with whoever organizes the market you are thinking of selling at. Some markets require that each vendor have their own product liability insurance, and some markets recommend but don't require it. And BTW I've…

I understand. If you send me your email address to mainelyorganic (at) yahoo (dot) com, I will send you the painting of an artist who is willing to sell me the cover rights for $75. I'd like to know what you think of it as a potential cover.
I'm looking for a photo to put on the cover of my upcoming book, BRINGING FOOD HOME: THE MAINE EXAMPLE. Is Maine Tday a possibility? Or would you be willing to do one special for the book at not too much expense?

I just added an event to the calendar describing our first community apple pressing day. I was hoping that it might be reasonable to send an email annnouncement to all members as well. In general I don't like the idea of clogging peoples mail with ads for farm goods but I think this is a little different in that we are attempting to revive a community service that used to be a significant part of the local food landscape. A service that has pretty much vanished in the last twenty years.
let me know what you think.
If there are any other appropiate venues to let people know about it I would appreciate your help.
Thanks

Was it you (& Eat Local Foods) that posted the craigslist ad looking for a web content writer? If yes, I'd be very interested in doing this if the position is still available. I've enjoyed writing for MOFGA and would like to expand beyond the paper.
