True Farmstand, or Retailer?

How to tag shops that sell produce from the adjacent farm, and those that sell other produce (e.g. bananas or other imported fruit)? Brycenesbitt (talk) 08:27, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

The answer is shop=greengrocer.

shop=farm sells local above regional products. Farm sell a small amount of products from own production, eg. eggs, potatoes, fresh milk, fruit and vegetables, meat etc.. Some farms cooperate with other local farms, so you can buy from local production fresh milk, cheese, eggs, pasta, honey, fresh fruit and vegetables, even meat or local wine in one place. Each product contains detailed information about the place of production, the way of production, in the event of problems, the seller will provide comprehensive information. If the consumer is inquisitive can personally check the production, then he is sure of the highest quality of the product he is buying.Cz ja (talk) 13:16, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Farm shop ≠ produce stand

User notices (in e.g., the iD editor) what he intended to tag as a fully licenced massive fruit market air conditioned building at e.g., one of http://www.calagtour.org/'s member tourist farms, has instead just been lumped under "produce stand," along with the other rif-raf illegal pop stands that have to be wheeled away when they see the cops coming etc.

So really the two are not the same thing. Jidanni (talk) 01:22, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

How to set speciality

I am missing the the possibility to set the main product being sold. In my example the shop is a "Hofladen" (farm-shop) by name but is specialised on cheese produced on the farm. So both shop=cheese and shop=farm are correct. How do I tag this?

I do not see this covered by produce=* because

1. dairy prodcuts are missing on the wiki page of produce=*

2. the shop does not produce cheese, it sells cheese

• In this case I would simply use shop=cheese Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 10:41, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Tags for what the shop sells

Recently it was suggested to use crop=* or produce=* on shop=farm. However, the tag crop=* is used on farmland to specify the type of plant grown for food on the land, and the tag produce=* is similarly used for forestry areas, aquaculture and other places that produce natural commodities such as wood, timber, fish, etc.

A better option in many cases would be to use product=* for a farm shop which sells processed goods like meat, cheese, wine, tofu, pies, etc. - though I admit that this is less common than using produce=* for some of these. --Jeisenbe (talk) 19:26, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

I this this is the better solution! Although produce=* is more common I think this is because it is featured in some articles on shops but in my opinion it is counter-intuitive compared to product=*. --MomoMilkiway (talk) 19:19, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

shop=farm and shop=??? with local products

hi, i think there's a confusion between a shop=farm and a shop=(greengroccer or deli or supermaket) where you can buy local and seasonal products. i think a shop=farm should be in a landuse=farmyard for example and not in center of a city or village !

On the wiki description (on box) is "A shop at a farm, selling farm produce. " so i'm agree with that "at a farm"

But if you read introduction "A shop that sells regional, seasonal, freshly harvested goods. It could be also used for a roadside produce stand. Similar inner-city farm shops also exist that specialize in selling products direct from (local/regional) farms. " it's confusing because it seems to concerns not only a shop at a farm !

Yours advices ? --Vinber (talk) 09:15, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

The transition from a shop=farm to a shop=* is fluent as you may have outside products even in a shop=farm on a farm. So it may be a good idea to note that if the majority of products sold comes directly from farms it is a shop=farm even if it is in the inner city. -- User:MomoMilkiway 19:04, 27 May 2021

I see exactly what Vinber means, and I've gone ahead and fixed it just now.

In the right hand side box there's a nice clear "A shop at a farm" description. Been there since the page was created [1]. The right hand box should be a shortened summary of the top left paragraph, but the description in the top left has been omitting that important clarity, so I've copied that in as the leading words.

what do you think to change the top left parragraph

"A shop at a farm or an inner-city farm shops, selling farm produce: regional, seasonal, freshly harvested goods. It could also be used for a roadside produce stand. --Vinber (talk) 11:22, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
