Convenience continues to trend even within the world of holistically minded individuals like those shopping at farmer’s markets. Today, there are a variety of online farmer markets that offer consumers Non-GMO products including Market Wagon.
Market Wagon is a great tool to purchase local foods and crops from farmers nearby. They have a robust web application that facilitates meaningful and convenient connections between farmers, food sellers, and consumers.
That said, Market Wagon might not be the best solution for everyone.
Here, we look at some top alternatives to Market Wagon.
FarmFreshEx
The first on the list, FarmFreshEx offers a digital non-GMO marketplace. This marketplace connects consumers directly to local farmers who grow with the most natural Non-GMO methods. Further, the FarmFreshEx platform puts an emphasis on convenience with their service.
This applies to both the end consumers enjoying the non-GMO food and the farmers on the platform. To this point, with FarmFreshEx, consumers win with local produce direct from the farm. Further, farmers benefit from these types of programs as well which helps increase their bottom line by removing out the middle man in the food supply chain process.
Masa
Another online farmers market available comes from Masa to empower consumers to be able to shop with a hyper-local focus. The Masa marketplace allows customers to purchase personalized menu items offered by local farmers. Through this process, the platform also empowers farmers with a new outlet to sell their goods within.
While the marketplace is currently only operating within the Portland metro area, the platform presents another marketplace to connect farmers and holistically minded individuals who do live in their current service area.
Farmbox Direct
Farmbox Direct offers a slightly different offering with an array of vegetable and fruit boxes delivered directly to your front door. The company offers a variety of organic and natural options for these boxes and also offers a few different juicing boxes available for delivery.
With this model, Farmbox Direct connects consumers directly to farmers while making the ordering and selection process easy since products are chosen for you. While this pre-selected option may not work for everyone, it certainly can be appealing to those with a busy schedule.
Field Goods
Another direct to your door delivery service for local produce, Field Goods operates throughout the states of New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Through their delivery service, consumers can order healthy produce and meats from local farmers.
The platform lets consumers select the precise fruits, vegetables, and meats they would like to purchase and have in their delivery for the week. The company also offers a few pre-selected options with an assortment of fruits or vegetables. All of the Field Goods platform features can be a great value add for any holistically-minded family.
Food4All
Another digital tool to connect farmers directly to local customers, Food4All uses consumer’s local zip code to quickly find a variety of farm-fresh food ready to be purchased in their area. The platform allows farmers to connect to potential customers while highlighting their growing practices and location of origin.
Food4All also allows farmers to sell their meat online which brings a new area of interest for the farm to table movement. All of the features on the Food4All platform benefit both consumers and farmers who share a more holistic lifestyle.
Farmers To You
Again in a slightly different model than direct to your door delivery, Farmers To You does empower consumers to connect closer to farmers for their supply of food. The platform offers a variety of different pickup locations throughout the Boston area. Furthermore, customers can purchase meat, vegetables, dairy, grain products such as bread or pasta within the Farmers To You platform.
While the program is only available to those in the Boston area, it again shows the power of connecting local farmers to the holistically minded individuals who prefer organic, non-GMO, or natural food.
All and all, look for more digital solutions and software programs to connect local farmers directly to the consumers looking for healthier and non-GMO food for their diets.
