The 
American Homestead Foods Project was developed by a family farmer 
to help to bring family farmers and consumers face to face. This project 
provides a family farmer an inexpensive way to advertise through an 
Internet web site without having to own or know how to use a computer. 
Many 
of today’s consumers are concerned about the safety, quality, 
freshness, and healthfulness of the foods they purchase. They are 
also doing more of their shopping and information gathering on the 
Internet. Shoppers are seeking locally produced food that they can 
receive some confidence as to the source and methods of production 
and so that they may play their part in preserving rural America.
Consumers 
are also increasingly aware of the many environmental issues surrounding 
agriculture. It has become clear to them that family farmers are good 
stewards of the land and that to preserve our agricultural resources 
family farms must also be preserved.
The 
American Homestead Foods Family Farm Project provides family farmers 
with a way to identify their farms or farmers market booths with the 
easily recognized certifying orange star and to be located by today’s 
discriminating shoppers. 
The 
American Homestead Foods Project has been made possible in cooperation 
with American Pasturage, Inc. who has provided the funding for the 
web interface. American Pasturage is a retail marketing agent for 
family farm raised Pasture Purefect Beef, Elysian Veal, and pastured 
lamb. 
The 
cost of this program is a one time fee of $30.00. You will receive 
a metal sign emblazened with the orange certification star and a listing 
on the American Homestead Foods Certified producer web site. 
The 
website (Sample) 
will provide you with an opportunity to list your products, hours 
of operation, contact information, location, and market affiliations. 
Changes to your listing can be made by contacting:
