Disputed PROD. Article is about a run-of-the-mill farmstand with no significant coverage outside of the local region; the sources found outside of the area are passing mentions in a travel piece about the county as a whole. Attempts to find articles in other regional newspapers (Portland and Vancouver, B.C.) did not yield results. Doesn't pass the WP:NCORP sniff test in my view.

Keep Snow Goose Produce has received significant coverage in multiple national, independent, reliable secondary sources in addition to its local/regional citations.

National magazine Sunset wrote a full article on the business and described it as "the farmstand of all farmstands".
The market was rated the No. 1 "Best Roadside Stand" in the country by national magazine Martha Stewart Living.
The Detroit Free Press citation is not a "passing mention"; around 1/2 of the article is directly dedicated to Snow Goose Produce. The Michigan-based writer uses the farm stand as the framing for her entire Skagit Valley travel article and describes the market as "the best metaphor for this earnestly rural region".

The Detroit Free Press article has five paragraphs related to the stand, not "around 1/2". The Sunset article is a short listicle, and the MSL article (which I cannot access) is probably of the same vein. Frankly, it'd have to be an extremely special farmstand to warrant an article; there's no obvious sign that it is. Sounder Bruce 06:51, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are not counting the article's lead or ending, both of which are dedicated to this notable farm stand.

11/19 of the indented or bolded paragraphs are about Snow Goose Produce... over half.

Five paragraphs is SIGCOV. QuicoleJR (talk) 19:39, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
