Can Workingfarm be used by a Food Hub?
In a word YES. The most significant difference between a farm taking orders and a Food Hub taking orders is the Products offered. A farm only has itself most often as the source of the Products being sold. A Food Hub on the other hand may regularly sell the same product from several sources. For example a Food Hub may be getting green beans at the same time from two different local farms as well as a wholesaler.
