Update or Correct a Farm or Farm Event in to PickYourOwn.org
(and also www.PickYourOwnChristmasTree.org and www.PumpkinPatchesAndMore.org )

Important Notes:

Just enter the information requested below. The text boxes are generally limited to 400 characters. The Blue Boxes are required, the yellow are optional, but where applicable, the optional information definitely helps customers to come visit your farm. Please be brief, but descriptive - we reserve the right to edit to remove profanity, correct grammar and spelling or trim it down to a reasonable size.

Links - Add links to pages on your website where the form asks for links (but not in the general text boxes)! The Google ads on the banners I put on the external links are what pays for the site, and grows commensurate with the traffic, so again, that keeps it free for both farmers and consumers, which helps everyone! In return, I'll ask you to link back to at least one page on pickyourown.org (a recipe, picking tips, whatever ) and that will help YOUR websites ranking in the search engines, too!

Hype - If you want to add several paragraphs of colorful descriptive text about what makes your farm a special visit, that's great, but that's called advertising, which we do, too, for a small annual fee, not a free basic listing (remember, all the extra text ends up costing us, and if I let everyone do that, I couldn't keep it free).

Abbreviations: Please do not use ANY abbreviations for ANYTHING. Not dates, street names, days of the week, months, NOTHING! People do NOT search Google for "Sat.", "Ave.","M-F". When you use ANY abbreviations, REPEAT ANY ABBREVIATIONS for ANYTHING, you greatly reduce the chances of YOUR farm showing up in a Google search! . They ALSO look unprofessional and often confuse potential customers. The program tries to correct and replace any abbreviations, including "Sun." for Sunday", "-" for "to" or "through" and so on. so if you use them, you may get weird results.

Capital letters - Please do NOT type in all CAPITAL LETTERS! (It takes me forever to change it to normal, legible type; which must be done manually, because NO ONE WANTS TO READ TYPE LIKE THIS - and that will considerably slow down getting your listing up! I will reject your entry if it is in capital letters!!! I cannot make it more plain. Thanks! )

Future plans - I'm in the process of adding databases, which will enable you to log on and make changes more easily and allow much more powerful searches, by fruit, vegetable, area, etc. It should make the website easier for you and for the customers, plus easier to navigate! This should be ready by this winter.

AGAIN DON'T USE ABBREVIATIONS! They WILL confuse people! SPELL EVERY WORD OUT!!!!
