I'm starting an organic micro-farm here in France and people are already coming to us for vegetables, even though we're not selling anything until next year. A restaurant rang today asking if we could supply them. Although I'm growing a lot of stuff for our own supply, little is ready and it's a bit embarrassing telling people we've nothing ready to sell.

Simply by word of mouth people have discovered what we are doing and come to us. Whereas I was expecting demand for local produce to increase as peak oil, climate change, etc. took hold, I'm a little overwhelmed by the demand that already seems to exist.

All I have to do is produce the goods (laughs nervously!).
