“Farm Stops are year-round, every-day markets that support small-scale farmers and strengthen local and regional food systems. They do so most often by operating on a consignment model, which gives producers a fair price, flexibility with their time and products, and provides more direct connections with consumers.”

- Kathryn Barr, author of “How to Start a Farm Stop”

  • “We have been amazed at how well the farm stop model has worked in our community, and believe this model can turbocharge any community that has an existing farmers market.”

    - Bill Brinkerhoff, Argus Farm Stop

  • "[Farm stops] move a lot of produce and they really help farmers connect with consumers and they provide a valuable service."

    -Marc Mathy, Hindsight Farm

  • "The farm stop model creates a stable foothold for local farmers and community members to support a strong, interconnected, and impactful food system."
