The design may be different on your shopping cart, but these functions are basically the same. First we setup your products and categories and producers through simple forms like this in the shopping cart manager If you have added our Multi-Location module, you’ll setup all of your pickup locations When you are open for shopping, people easily browse the site and add products to their cart as they go. As they shop, things are added to their shopping cart While the customer goes through the checkout process, they are asked for a pickup location (if you use that module) After confirming their order, a shopper gets an email receipt After the order is closed, you can easily view and edit customer’s orders if you need to Print paper receipts for customers or you use them as part of your order distribution process With a special add-on for Zen Cart from Apsona, you can access all the information you need for operations.  Pick sheets, order sheets, and the ability to import/export of all your data (customers,products, etc) The following is a basic demonstration of a local-food-oriented shopping system for online ordering followed by in-person pickup.  An add-on module is available if you manage multiple pickup locations.

I really loved the location.  Everyone was super nice and down to earth, smart and fun loving.  The younger farmers with the kids in tow are beautiful, and I got to share some food and laughs with lots of farmers I buy from here in Portland at the Farmer’s Market and through the Portland Food Co-op. A big thank you and shout out to Melissa White at MOFGA. You’ve given me some great learning opportunity, and a fun project for me that is also serious.  If I can’t be a farmer, volunteering to support the ways of the small organic farmer is the next best thing. OK, on to the audio recordings from around the conference... Each recording is around 2 hours 15 minutes.  The audio towards the end where it is discussion may be too low, but it’s worth hearing.

It was great, but more difficult that most rides because of our camping gear and clothes.  Loved every second of it! Working with MOFGA, I was able to create a new volunteer job for myself. As the Internet Farmer might do, we wanted to record some speakers who discussed topics in areas that MOFGA does not have a regular specialist for so that anyone can learn.  Being the Internet Farmer, I of course agreed, and hope to see a podcast of this great material someday. Enjoy the photos and recordings… The audio files are in a very raw form, and each is about one hour. There is several minutes of dead air at the beginning of a couple of recordings, so be patient or click on the bar to fast forward a bit.
