Support for shop=farm in POI extraction #103

@tadkozh22

Hello,

I would like to ask whether it would be possible to include shop=farm in the POI extraction used for OpenFreeMap vector tiles.

Context

I am a regular user of OsmAPP:

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

The maintainer explained that these objects cannot be displayed because the upstream vector tile providers currently do not include them.

Since OpenFreeMap provides vector tiles used by several applications, I wanted to ask whether this tag could be included in the POI layer.

About shop=farm

shop=farm is an OpenStreetMap tag used for:

  • farm shops
  • direct sales from farmers
  • local producers selling food products

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

These locations are quite common in rural areas and are increasingly important for local food systems.

Request

If the current schema filters shop=* values, would it be possible to include shop=farm in the exported POI data?

Even if map styles do not render it by default, including it in the tiles would allow downstream applications to use it.

Motivation

Currently, many farm shops mapped in OSM are effectively invisible in vector-tile-based maps because they are filtered out during tile generation.

Including this tag would help represent local producers and short supply chains more accurately.

Thank you for your work on OpenFreeMap.
