Thank you for this. I realize how this can be seen as counterproductive and annoying no matter how polite I can be. I looked into legal solicitation briefly. Flyers in mailboxes was my first idea. But quickly learned that only usps post is legally allowed in mailboxes. However flyers on doorsteps seems to be legal.

This might be true. I'd like to explore the market and see what homeowners want. I think the interest is there. Especially among new homeowners. Getting in touch with where food comes from is becoming a popular ideal. But of course there's a point where someone just doesn't want a cleanup service. which I get.

Thank you for the advice!👌
