Member Spotlight: Farm Trader

Farm Trader was born out of a problem my wife and I experienced firsthand while running a small farm. We noticed significant inefficiencies in trying to purchase farm goods locally and struggled to connect with nearby resources. This inspired us to create a platform that simplifies and strengthens connections within the agricultural community, making it easier for farmers and consumers to buy, sell, and support local agriculture.
