Farmer's Markets

Not an idea for the devs so much as for the players ...

Those of us with crops who need herbs 
and those of us with herbs who need crops 
could meet for a weekly farmer's market. 

Maybe we could have a moving market, like Estevan Meadows Veggie market on one day and a boggy neighborhood's herb market on another. I think that organizing at the neighborhood level makes the most sense. Meeting in-game to sell or swap would be fun and much different from the auctions and vendors.

    Needs a safeguard of some kind to ensure people (on either side) don't get ripped off- I know there are lots of nice folks here, but there are also a few d-bags, and this sort of thing seems ripe for scamming. Might also be excellent to make it a rotating market, where it moves from place to place- Addingfoot Trips, then Lemmen Connect, then Eglesgown Wanks, then Onto Parada, etc. That'd require a pretty solid calendar, too.

  • I think it's great. There could be an organized group for it and/or we could advertise with notes. I'm a crop farmer myself, because I'm much too attached to Bortola, so it would be great to be able to swap and not have to go to the community garden in Shimla or Chakra. Plus, the trend with community gardens seems to be that people don't plant what they take, so the market would be great for people worried about harvesting.
