Farm Stop Webinar

Jul 09, 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM CT
Online | Zoom | Free
Farm Stops find the connection between a typical grocery store and farmers market, building upon the advantages of both and ultimately providing a stable market for the producers and an increase in local options for the consumer. Often Farm Stops use a consignment model where producers bring their goods to the Farm Stop, set their own prices, and earn most of the percentage of the sale as compared to a traditional grocery store. Join Patrick Randolph of Grandad Farmstand, Bobbi Boos of Bloomington Farm Stop Collective and Lily Gross of Radish Farm Stop to learn more about the similarities and differences of the Farm Stop’s they manage, why the model works well for producers and how to get involved in organizing a Farm Stop in your own backyard.
