Small Farm Central

We posted a blog entry a few weeks ago about Twitter and the ways that farmers are using it promote their farms. This is a new medium and has a lot of buzz around it, which should leave us suspicious. However, I do think that this platform has a lot of promise as an easy way to keep up with customers during the busy summertime.

More on that later, though.

We've found our way of using Twitter. This is not the "I'm eating ham and pineapple pizza and drinking a coke" variety of Twittering. We are posting updates, improvements, and new feaures of Small Farm Central which you can view in Twitter. The posts on features are being pulled into the control panel.

If you are an SFC user, you can view the Feature Feed in your control panel by going to the top-right hand corner of the control and finding the link for the "feature feed". You will see that we have been busy.

For everyone else, you can view our "Feature Feed" on Twitter. In addition, we are posting on a daily basis to highlight recipes, blog entries, and photos posted to Small Farm Central sites. Here are a few of our latest updates:

W Liberty Farm eater asks "How to eat seasonally within reason?" Dave talks of winter gardening, ferment., canning, etc: http://bit.ly/K6WmL

"What is best for the bees?" Leaf tells the story of several swarms - eventually leading the bees off his rural TN farm: http://bit.ly/RzHVa

"Bohemian" artisan breads cooling in a scrumptious pile at Twin Forks Farm Breads near Nashville, Tennessee: http://bit.ly/cB6nB

This is a fun way for us to highlight all the great work SFC farmers are doing across the country and get our farmers more exposure. If you are writing or photographing something you think we should post about, send us a note.
