We are excited to announce the latest tool in your farm marketing toolbelt; Farming Faces allows
farmers markets (and other groups of farmers) to quickly create an online directory & map of their
vendors and farmers.
Your site might look a little bit like this:

Why is Farming Faces Special?
-
Mapping and Vendor Directory. The ability to easily create a map and directory of
farmers within a market or a group using Google Maps so that customers can visualize where their
food comes from.
-
News Feed. Auto updating news feed aggregates farmer updates from Facebook,
Twitter, blogs, and Small Farm Central sites to keep an up-to-date news area without farmers having
to manually update it.
-
One farm, one profile. As markets and organizations create Farming Faces sites and
farmers are joined to different groups, there is only one profile for each farmer to manage. An
update on one site is copied to all of the other sites a farmer is joined to, which means a minimum
amount of management for farmers, and maximum reach when marketing effort is made.
-
Free. Farming Faces is free for farmers markets and smaller organizations to set
up a basic Farming Faces site. Small Farm Central will charge a nominal fee for larger
organizations, and for advanced features as they are added in the future, but the core service will
remain free.
