Weed & Vegetable Exchange
Weed and Vegetable Exchange (WeaVE) represents a collaborative effort
between growers, processor representatives, and Oregon State University faculty
in the Departments of Horticulture. The purpose of WeaVE is to provide
electronic access to worldwide learning about vegetable weed management and
cover crops via World Wide Web (www) networks along with links between topics
contained within this guide.http://www.orst.edu/dept/hort/weeds/vegetable.htm
Smallfarms.com
A place for small ranchers, small farmers and part time family farmers who
need to get those special crops to the customers. In the past this was done by
large food distributors. Today, we need to get customers directly to the farm
products you've worked so hard to develop, produce and process.
