Farmer's Market Online out of Idaho sends a virtual 'market' with booths
to subscribers weekly free of charge. I have seen quite a variety of
listings: maple syrup, emu oil, organic garlic, homemade candles, etc.
Most recently, the market has been divided into separate listings:
Farm/Produce, Home/Garden, and Media (a listing of TV and radio shows on
farming, gardening, cooking, etc.) There is a small fee for setting up a
'booth.' Subscribers can receive any of the listings they like. Sending
a 'subscribe' message to the e-mail address should get you on. Contact
