🌱✌️Looking for marketplace testers
Hey Permapeople,
How are you doing? I just wanted to share some quick updates to keep you in the loop with changes we've made to the platform. Also, I am looking into some remedies to keep the neighboring cats out of my raised bed. If you have any ideas, let me know!
Looking for Marketplace Testers
We are busy getting the marketplace ready for you. We are looking for gardeners and farmers who would be interested in adding first products to the marketplace. If you would be interested in being one of the first sellers in the marketplace, please reach out to me by answering this email.
To get you an idea of what people can sell on the marketplace, this is the categories we plan to start with:
Plants, Seeds, Livestock, Meat, Dairy, Fruits, Vegetables, Staple Crops, Raw Materials, Crafts, Food, Books, BluRays & DVDs, Digital Products, Workshops & Courses, Art, Other services, Other
Many plants now have images
We constantly try to improve the data we provide in the database to make it more useful. Besides a lot of good community contributions, we imported almost 4500 images from Wikipedia to help you get a better idea of the plant. Also, your lists will look much shinier now!
New blog post
Next to all the direct work on the platform to get more people to grow their own plants and help save the planet, we are thinking a lot about providing concrete examples of how to do that effectively. Please read Simon's post on "Designing and optimizing a recipe for distributed, small-scale food production in temperate climates" and join the conversation on how this could be applied to your specific situation!
We will continue working on the marketplace release. Please feel free to reach out. I am reading and answering every mail. In the meantime:
Happy gardening 🌱✌️,
Ben
