Family Farmers is an online marketplace for Farmers, where farmers from all around the world can easily connect with local consumers. We help Farmers and their families setup their online farm store, understand it, and find local consumers. At Family Farmers, farmers become “Independent”, working directly from their farms or homes. The platform includes a unique farmers portal, where the farmers can manage their produce, list services or even rent their tools and farm space. The platform is in beta, and we are ramping commercialization in 2023.
