Consider adding shop=farm to the supported shop categories #48

Hello,

I would like to suggest adding the OpenStreetMap tag shop=farm to the list of supported shop=* values in the Shortbread schema.

Context

I am a regular user of OsmAPP:

I recently suggested displaying farm shops (local producers selling directly to consumers):
zbycz/osmapp#1462

However, the maintainer explained that these objects are not present in the vector tiles produced by providers using schemas such as Shortbread.

Looking at the Shortbread documentation, it appears that shop=farm is currently not included in the list of supported shop=* values.

About shop=farm

shop=farm is an established OpenStreetMap tag used for:

  • farm shops
  • direct sales from farmers
  • local food distribution

Documentation:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop=farm

These places are quite common in rural areas and are an important part of short food supply chains.

Proposal

Add shop=farm to the supported shop=* values so it is exported in the relevant POI/shopping layer.

Even if map styles choose not to render it by default, having it present in the vector tiles would allow applications to make their own decisions.

Motivation

Currently, many farm shops mapped in OSM are effectively invisible on vector-tile-based maps because the tag is filtered at the schema level.

Including it would help represent local agriculture and direct producer sales more accurately.

Thank you for your work on this project.
