Farming and Facebook (or Pinterest)
A great piece in Flying Kite, about Philadelphia flower farmer Jenny Love, and her use of social media. She especially uses Pinterest, and I thought her ability to predict trends with the site was facinating:
Love turns to Pinterest to identify trends and pays close attention to the metrics of her own boards and blog to better understand market demands. If photos of white anemones or pink...
