I think it does.

How did you get your farmer network set up?

Reminds me of https://www.vidaliaonions.com/. The guy who started that bought the domain before he knew what he was going to do with it.

I copied him. His HN post from 2019 is what planted the seed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19728132

I'm from Mississippi and know some small farmers but none of the big sweet potato producers. "Mississippi Sweet Potatoes" coming from the "Sweet Potato Capital of the World" has always been a strong branding in my head growing up, just being near the influence of that. It's not hard to get their wholesale but I wanted to have some orders before finding a partner.

I have read of other people getting customers/orders before actually having the product in place.

But my doomsday mind has a hard time shaking what happens if you can't follow through? Is it as simple as refunding the money?

A simple, stupid question with probably a single answer but that is where my mind goes when I hear people doing things this way.

Sounds lovely!

Just fyi I tried clicking the link, and my work laptop flagged it as "malware". I'm not sure why, but thought I would let you know

thank you for the heads up!!! hmmm...

I went to it on my Android phone and it worked fine.

Yeah, mine was via a corporate policy. God knows how it decides such things, but it's not a message I've ever seen before, so there could be something wrong with the site that other security software might flag

I'm convinced that the corporate web filter does this to make itself look like it actually does something.
