A big thank you to Tom McConnell of WVU Extension for letting WVfarm2u.org participate again this year! It's our third year here: Three's a Charm as they say.
The Collaborative for the 21st Century Appalachia sponsored a PayPal Virtual Terminal during the Winter Blues Farmers Market for Jason & Sigrid Teets of Monkey Dance Ranch who sold lamb, handmade wooden spoons and wool pelts. With the Virtual Terminal from PayPal they were able to use their wireless internet connection and take credit and debit cards from customers. They're sales increased by at least 50%. More data to come on that later.
This year at the Small Farm Conference here in Morgantown, the Collaborative is giving away 3 one month service to Farmers Markets who are registered and listed on WVfarm2u.org.
If you are going to attend the Small Farm Conference Feb. 24 - 26, stop by our booth and get registered or we can help you to determine some of your online marketing needs.
