The Coral Farmers MarketSM company
The Coral Farmers MarketSM company is currently operating out of the same facility that houses the SouthWestern Coral Farmers MarketSM company. The two companies are separate, but are currently owned by the same general partnership. The two partners are Steve Tyree and Art Petit. Steve has been farming and selling corals for over 10 years. Art Petit has been an avid aquarist for numerous years. Both share an intense interest in corals and ocean life in general. This partnership also brings together two different perspectives. Steve is a coral farming industry insider. Art is an avid aquarist and a devoted purchaser of coral. These two different perspectives have been very instrumental in developing the Coral Farmers MarketSM business model. That business model requires input from the sellers perspective and the buyers perspective. The company can be contacted at the address and phone below. Art and Steve can also be contacted via email through the Coral Farmers MarketSM event web sites available from the upper right logo. We can also be contacted via the Coral Farmers MarketSM forums.
The Coral Farmers MarketSM Servicemark
The Corals Farmers MarketSM company has service marked the phrase 'Coral Farmers Market' exactly as shown. We also fully intend to register this servicemark as soon as possible. It is currently our established Common Law Servicemark. We were the first to use this term to identify the services we offer at our coral fragment events. These events have been typically referred to as 'coral swaps' or 'frag swaps'. Our phrase was created by Steve Tyree and Art Petit and we feel that this phrase better identifies the services we offer to attendees and vendors at our events. A Coral Farmers MarketSM event is more of a free market trade show then it is a coral frag swap. We want to make sure this servicemarked phrase becomes identified with a specific type of coral exchange event. This will help to inform the public about the type of event we are sanctioning and will also inform our vendors about the type of event they will be attending. For example, all the Coral Farmers MarketSM sanctioned events that occurred during 2006/2007 and all these events scheduled to occur during 2008, are for profit events. Coral 'frag swaps' and 'coral swaps' are typically operated by Hobbyist organizations which are non-profits. Trademarks and Servicemarks are all about accurately informing the public about a product or service. Other coral exchange events should continue to call their events 'frag swaps' or coral swaps'. Or perhaps even 'coral fairs'. Some may even develop new unique potential servicemarkable phrases such as Reef-A-PaloozaSM developed by the SCMAS organization. So the reason we have placed the little SM on this web site after every use of the phrase Coral Farmers MarketSM is too inform other businesses and organizations that we have servicemarked and will register the phrase 'Coral Farmers Market'SM.
The Coral Farmers MarketSM Logo Trademark

All coral images were of corals that were held within Steve Tyree's Reeffarmers farming systems for at least two months except for one of the images. The corals fragments imaged in Reeffarmers facility were initially acquired from various farming sources.
