This has been tagged for notability for over 9 years. I haven't been able to establish that it meets WP:ORG or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 16:30, 6 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Everything in this article is correct. Why would something be deleted if it is accurate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.107.15.58 (talk) 18:01, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter if it is accurate - it needs to be WP:NOTABLE. I could create an accurate article on myself, but it wouldn't meet the criteria for inclusion on an encyclopedia, because I'm not notable. Does this meet the relevant notability criteria, i.e. WP:ORG or WP:GNG? That is what decides if it is included in this encyclopedia. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 17:55, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: No significant coverage, no sense of notability beyond the local area and no proof of notability within it. Wikipedia is still not a web host.  Nha Trang  Allons! 22:57, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I think this suggests notability. (If the USDA Secretary visits your premises, at least USDA knows about it, yes?) And this reports that it is the largest CSA in the United States, with 13,000 subscriptions. And yet another book mention, from 2008. I've added these to the article and done a little bit of cleanup. There are more out there, but I think these are enough for WP:GNG. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 22:07, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: Casual mentions are never enough for the GNG: a subject has to have significant coverage from multiple reliable sources. There could be a name drop in the NYT and the Washington Post, and that still wouldn't count.  Nha Trang  Allons! 17:31, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Reply Please have a new look at the article. I've found and added citations to additional reliable sources beyond those few I mentioned above. Not that it still can't be improved... Geoff &#124; Who, me? 18:00, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: The sources I've looked at have had either trivial mentions or they were local coverage. The exception is the book, California's New Green Revolution (2008 book mentioned above), which I can't see in full.  It looks like it could contain in-depth coveage although it also contains quotes from the business owners.  Gab4gab (talk) 18:37, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. both on the grounds of lack of notability and of clear promotionalism . If the Sec of Ag visits your facility it does not in the least prove notability,--thats an absurdly low criterion.  DGG ( talk ) 23:23, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- reads like a company web site. Article sourcing does not suggest notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:33, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Request Looks like the consensus is heading toward 'Delete.' Assuming that to be the ultimate result, I request that the closing admin userfy to my userspace, to a new page: User:Glane23/Drafts of Articles/Farm Fresh To You. I'll take some time with it there to see if I can move it away from having a tone like an advert toward an encyclopedia article and I'll have also have a bit more time and elbow room to look for and add some more sources. Thank you very much in advance. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 15:29, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
