Old Farmhouse Gathering is a moderated team with the following requirements:

All applicants will go through a jury process before acceptance. You must have an active Etsy shop to be considered for the OFG Team, and be willing to join our Yahoo group where we conduct our business discussions. The majority of the items in your shop must be hand-crafted. Handcrafted items include finished products made by you from an original pattern or a pattern designed by another artist, original patterns that have been designed by you and/or supplies that you are the original designer of. You may include vintage items or supplies, but these must make up less than 50% of the total. Secondary shops are not required to contain hand-crafted items.

We do expect all members to participate on a minimal level, at least once a month. We are all here to help one another and to help promote the Team. Participation is any activity where you engage with the group for the promotion of our shops including, but not limited to, treasuries, blog posts, Facebook posts, twitter, etc.

While we encourage all discussions about Etsy and related subjects, discussions which create controversy will be strictly disallowed. No 'flaming' of any kind, regarding other artists, products or 'Groups' will be tolerated.

Only family friendly art or creations are welcome at OFG.

We encourage friendly and active interactions with our members. We are not only professionals, but we are a group of friends who offer support to each other. If this is the kind of team you are looking for, we would be delighted to consider your application to the OFG team!
