Comment on YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power.

  But probably not a difficult fix. Websites can be updated.

    Which is why I’m providing feedback. I really want this to work.

      Who are you providing it to? Because I don’t think FlyingSquid made this website.

        The great wide web. I don’t think it’s him either, but this is the channel I found.

    People who produce bad design like that, are often resistant to change.

      Or they’re inexperienced and don’t know any better.

      Or they might welcome assistance from someone who knows how to do it, since their expertise is in farming and they don’t have a lot of money for web design. Such assistance could possibly qualify as a tax-deductible donation.

      As a software developer making enterprise software, that simply isn’t true.

      I have been responsible for making some pretty poor design choices and UX flows. I was never resistant to change and more just needed someone to say hey bro that’s dumb, I don’t why don’t we do it like this.

      Now I know how to do X and won’t make the same mistakes again.

        I’ve worked in IT for over 30 years. I have come across a lot of people who design terrible UIs and get all pissy when you suggest any improvements. I didn’t in any way want to imply that everybody is like that.

      If they are, you can probably make a better site, that adds the feature you’re missing and can link to results on theirs.

  Cmd-F or Ctrl-F to search for cities. It’s imperfect, but I found seven hits for my city instantly. I could search neighboring cities and towns the same way.

    To add to this comment, it’s not hard to find any of this information. “States grouped into areas” scroll to find your state, or again ctrl+f. “Hard to find cities” thankfully living in my area and being somewhat familiar with said area I can scroll down the list and find farmers in my general area. Short of putting in my address and searching for closest to which I hate anyway, this isn’t a bad interface as op suggests.

      I’m still going to say it’s just not great design; it presents you a large map that is not interactable in any way, then below that are bits of that map again with ordinary hyperlinks below for each state and/or region. Just let people click on the first map, or just ditch it entirely.

      Once you’ve clicked on a state, you get a list of paragraph format entries sorted in the most useless way: alphabetically by business name.

      Who is this website for?

        I agree whole heartedly, it could be done better. I’m just saying it isn’t complete garbage and if a little confusing still usable.

        It’s for the creator of the website, so they can virtue signal while producing something of dubious quality. Most of these farms are already discover-able on better, more comprehensive indexes.

    That assumes you know all the place names of the region where you’re at. Someone that moved recently and/or lives in a tristate area (all of which are in different state regions in my case according to that map) is just faced with a very hostile design.

  at least you have something my state doesn’t even have anything lmao, it goes to a boilerplate page that gives little info

    My state (big ag state) has a whopping 3 and 2 of those are hemp. The one that isn’t just hemp doesn’t have an area listed, just the state.

    I mean I’m glad there are any… but yeah, not a super great resource for some areas lol
