> Harvestation ( http://www.harvestation.com/) is a new online  
> farmers' market for Tompkins County (NY).  It was developed by the  
> folks at IthaCan ( http://ithacan.ning.com/) to facilitate bulk  
> buying for food preservation purposes, I believe with funding from a  
> Northeast SARE Sustainable Community Grant. IthaCan is a web-based  
> social network where home food preservers in Tompkins County (NY)  
> organize food preserving events and share information.
>
> Through the new Harvestation website, buyers are able to:
> shop from the comfort of their homes
> enjoy bulk discounts
> post their own wish-lists for farmers to browse
> place orders in advance of harvest
> get to know their farmers
> Farmers are able to:
> sell directly from the farm
> set their own prices, minimum quantities, and pickup times
> accept payment via PayPal
> advertise their products online
> review wish-lists & plan according to buyers' desires
> get to know their customers
> For information about Harvestation, please contact Alison Fromme,
