This book is coming back into print this summer, and it has a chapter on growing ramps. It says you need moist soil with an acidic pH of 4.9, lots of calcium, and 50 percent shade. The plants will be entering dormancy soon, so you may not see them again until next spring. Here is a link that might be useful: growing ramps and woodland medicinals

Where I live there is a loose alliance of organic growers who grow only a few things, and they work through a local (grassroots) distributor. The distributor works the farmers market, with signs that say which farm or grower supplied the produce. You may want to ask around at the farmers market to see if there is a similar organization in your area. Depending on where you live, a seasonal stand with an honor box might be worth considering, too. There is an interesting book on honor system marketing -- see link to interview with author below.
