Four Markets for Upstart Farmers
The market(s) a farmer chooses to service is just as important as the actual farm or the produce they choose to grow for the success of their Upstart Farm. Primarily there are four markets that most farms rely on by using one or a combination of for their livelihood: Farmers’ markets, CSAs, Restaurants, and Grocery stores.
This course is designed for anyone who wants to sell produce on a commercial level.
