Corrections

Corrections

Every listing on Harvest & Harbor is sourced and dated, but things change — a market moves, a certification lapses, hours shift. This page explains how corrections and new-listing suggestions will work, and is upfront about what's actually ready today: intake isn't open yet — see below for exactly why, and what we're preparing in the meantime.

How this will work, once intake opens

Reports will be reviewed manually: we’ll check the claim against current sources, then update the listing’s verification status and date, or remove the listing if it no longer qualifies. This will be a small, non-24/7 effort — we won’t promise a specific response time once it’s live.

What kind of update is this?

Pick the closest match below to see what’s actually useful to tell us for that kind of update — a new seller, a product correction, a CSA or benefit-program update, permission to display an address or use a photo, and more.

A business or seller that isn't listed yet — a farm, farm stand, market, CSA, seafood seller, butcher, international market, co-op, or restaurant with documented local sourcing.

Helpful to include

  • The business or public-facing seller name
  • What kind of seller it is
  • Municipality or general service area
  • Whether there's a public storefront or address meant for customer use
  • What it sells
  • How and when it's typically available
  • Its official website or professional social media profile, if it has one
  • Any source that supports what you're telling us

Every new listing needs independent sourcing before it's published — see /DATA_SOURCING.md's source-tier hierarchy. A submission starts research; it doesn't skip it.

We’re preparing this so it’s ready to turn on once a monitored contact channel exists — see below. Nothing you type above is collected or sent anywhere.

Suggesting a small or home-based producer

We want this directory to include home bakers, cottage-food producers, honor-system stands, preorder-only sellers, and farmers-market vendors without a storefront — not just businesses with a public address. Once intake opens, if you know one, the most useful things to tell us will be:

  • The business or public-facing seller name
  • What kind of seller it is (farm, market vendor, home baker, etc.)
  • Municipality or general service area
  • Whether there’s a public storefront or address you know is meant for public/customer use
  • What it sells
  • How and when it’s typically available (regular, seasonal, preorder-only, market-day only)
  • Pickup, delivery, or shipping arrangements
  • Which farmers markets it sells at, if any
  • Its official website or professional social media profile, if it has one
  • Whether the seller has said it’s okay to publish an address or use a specific photo
  • Any source that supports what you’re telling us

A residential address is never published just because it’s the only one we can find — see our standards for how we handle privacy for home-based sellers. A future suggestion won’t guarantee publication, or publication as “verified” — every fact will still go through the same independent-sourcing process as everything else on this site, and some genuinely can’t be confirmed from a submission alone.

A dedicated corrections contact address hasn’t been set up yet — this is a known open item tracked in the project’s planning documentation. We’d rather leave this section honestly incomplete than publish a contact method that isn’t actually monitored. An internal queue for owner-verification and photo-permission outreach is prepared for when that channel exists, but nothing is sent automatically or without a person reviewing it first.
