If you are a farmer, it is time to ask an important question: who is truly offering support for small farms?
Is it the organization that adds your name to a long list of farms, without photos, without products, and without any way for customers to shop? Or is it the platform that promises exposure but leaves you buried under dozens of other listings?
Support for small farms should be more than a mention. It should mean real tools that help your farm grow, connect with customers, and succeed in an increasingly digital world. That is exactly why we created Farm Trader.
Farm Trader is an online farmers market with one clear mission. We want to offer real, meaningful support for small farms. We help customers discover your farm, view your available products, and place orders directly. Unlike generic directories, we do not just list your name. We give your farm its own space that reflects your story and your work.
Many platforms claim to connect small farms with consumers. In reality, most of them provide only a static list or a confusing map. Customers cannot shop. You cannot update your inventory. And the connection between you and your community is lost. That is not real support for small farms.
On Farm Trader, it is different. You keep one hundred percent of your sales. You sell directly to your community. Whether you already have a retail setup or you are just starting to reach consumers, our platform makes it easier for people to find and support your farm.
If you are a shopper, your choices matter. Support for small farms starts with buying from them. When you shop local, you back family-owned farms, preserve farmland, and strengthen your food system. Most people want to support local food but they simply do not know where to start. We are here to change that.
Support for small farms is not just a slogan. It is a commitment to making farms visible, accessible, and successful. It is about changing the way people shop and creating a food system that works for everyone.
Together, we can make it happen. One farm, one shopper, one local connection at a time.
