Small Farms Need More Than a Market Stall
If small farms want to survive, they need to start selling farm products online. Competing with box stores takes more than word of mouth or market days — it takes convenience. Customers expect easy online shopping, even when buying from their local farm.
That’s why we created Farm Trader. We’re a brother and sister team who left our full-time jobs to build something that actually helps farms. Supporting farmers isn’t a side hustle — it’s our mission.
Most “Farm Directories” Fall Short
A lot of websites claim to connect consumers to farms. But here’s the truth: They simply list your farm name alongside hundreds of others. There’s no farm store, no checkout, no easy way to shop.
Customers may find your farm — but they can’t buy from you, and they likely won’t follow up. That’s not enough.
Farm Trader Makes Selling Farm Products Online Easy
We built Farm Trader so that when a consumer thinks, “Is there a farm near me selling that?”, they know exactly where to look. On our platform, they can shop your farm store right away, explore your products, and stay connected to your updates. You keep 100% of your sales — we’re not here to take your profits, we’re here to help grow them.
We believe selling farm products online should feel as easy as ordering from a big retailer. That’s how we truly replace the box store with the farm down the road. But to make it work, farms need to come together, building one trusted space where shopping local is simple.
Let’s Keep Local Food Local
When you list your products on Farm Trader, you join an online community of farmers, all working toward the same goal — making local food as convenient as the grocery store.
The future of farming depends on selling farm products online — and we’re here to help you do it.
