buying online

Farmer's Market Online is not meant to replace, substitute, or otherwise compete with your local farmers market. Buying direct from a local farmer, producer, artisan or crafter -- and doing it directly, in person -- is the best form of marketing, both for the consumer and the producer.

Farmer's Market Online is the second best form of marketing because our shoppers, for the most part, are buying direct from the producer and our vendors are selling direct to the consumer. Our shoppers get higher quality, better security, and more satisfaction by buying direct from the person who grows or produces or crafts the goods they buy. Our vendors get better prices for their goods and direct contact with the consumer.

We exist because most folks, unfortunately, do not have access to a farmers market in their neighborhood every day of the week and every week of the year. Some folks live far from the nearest farmers market; others can't or won't go to their local market at the time it is held or where it is located.

For those who... 

• don't have or can't get to a local farmers market...

• need something that's not available locally...

• can't do all their shopping one day a week or just a few months a year...

• want to shop late at night or want the convenience of home delivery

... Farmer's Market Online is a wonderful option.

And while selling at an open-air farmers market is the most rewarding form of marketing for most producers, few of them can survive on the sales they make one day a week for a few weeks each year. Farmer's Market Online helps them supplement their incomes with 24/7 year-round global sales to a select population of shoppers willing to pay a premium for home delivery of quality goods direct from the producer..
