Farm-to-Business & Local Food Marketplaces (business-facing)
6 products listed
Introduction
Farms and small producers want to sell directly to restaurants, grocers and food hubs, but those buyers do not want to negotiate with dozens of separate growers. Farm-to-business platforms bring the two sides together. Producers get an online shop with price lists, stock and invoicing. Buyers get one place to find local suppliers and order from several at once. The products differ in who they serve first. Some are storefronts for farms and food hubs, one is an open source shop platform run locally, one matches produce buyers with suppliers, and one only books abattoir slots.
Who needs it
Farms, food hubs, co-ops and farmers markets selling wholesale, and restaurants, grocers and distributors that want to buy local. It becomes worth having when orders arrive by text message and spreadsheet, or when buyers ask for one consolidated invoice from several growers.

What to look for
Which side you are on. Some products are built for the farm selling, others for the buyer sourcing. Confirm the side you sit on is the one the pricing and features are designed for.
Percentage or flat fee. One platform charges suppliers a subscription and buyers a percentage of order value, while others charge by transaction volume or a flat plan. Work out the total at your order volume.
Regional programmes and rules. One platform supports US benefit payments such as SNAP, another only covers abattoirs in one Canadian province. Check the product operates in your area.
Selling by weight and packing. Local food is often sold in variable weights and packed to order. Look for harvest lists, pack lists and order-by-weight support.
Open source or vendor-run. One profiled platform is open source and run through local instances, so terms and support vary by country. Vendor-run products give a single point of contact.
