For growers and producers:
A cordial invitation to Manatee, Sarasota, and Hillsborough County Growers and Producers large and small!
The Florida Suncoast Locally Grown On Line Farmers Market offers an Internet advantage with a simple on line system to display your products, set your prices, sell online, and harvest to order!
The on line market eliminates common farm market problems, like arriving early, high entry barriers, grueling work, harvesting on a speculation of sales, and regulations.
All you need to do to start is:
Create an account, Describe your farm, list your products, harvest to order, Drop off and Pick Up!
Its easy to learn, Pay as you go, with no up front costs, and is cheaper than doing it yourself!
The on line farmers market is better than a traditional farmers market, CSA or Buying Club when it comes to buying fresh local produce. For the customer, there are no more parking problems, getting to the market early, Hoping the farmer doesn't sell out, lugging around your purchases, or receiving a box of produce that they will probably never use! Customers are able to shop from the convenience of their home, going to one pick up point, Picking up their order and paying!
Our first goal is to promote and support local farmers, and secondly, support of locally produced products.
The on line farmers market allows more customers to support local growers and producers! If you are interested in joining us at www.floridasuncoast.locallygrown.net or if you should have any questions, please contact Kathy or Norm Whitlow at greensonthegro@aol.com or 941-725-0204.
