Program Overview
Farm Fresh Network empowers communities to become stronger, more resilient, by fostering local economic development. We believe that within every community, highly skilled and very talented individuals are already crafting products, growing produce, and making food. You might even know some of these people—and there are many more waiting to be discovered.
Today’s economy challenges local communities with inflation, unreliable supply chains, and resource mismanagement. This translates to a dwindling commercial supply chain with increasingly higher prices. As supplies diminish, competition outside the community intensifies—a trend often overlooked until store shelves quickly become empty. Higher prices also shift consumer demand, leading businesses to question their location in a community. It’s a system fraught with problems that constantly victimize communities.
Many people are unaware just how serious the situation is. They have no idea that supplies are typically only a few days away from running out should the next shipment not come in. It’s a danger far too often overlooked.

So, what are we really trying to do?
Farm Fresh Network started with a customer who wanted to give back to their community and get more from their local market. Over the past five years, we’ve helped transform this market into a thriving success. It’s not just about supplying fresh, locally grown produce or providing quality artisanal goods; it’s something much bigger.
This market demonstrates the power of bringing talented local people together to support themselves and their community. This kind of success is something every community deserves. It’s local money supporting local people, creating local products. It’s local farmers, producers, artisans, and bakers finally having the platform to grow their skills, innovate, and achieve financial stability.
Building for the Next Generation
Today, the innovation in agriculture and hand-crafted goods surpasses commercial products. Customers increasingly trust and prefer locally made items over mass-produced ones. Local businesses are free to explore new ideas and old values that are simply leaving commercial products behind.
At the same time, customers are more discerning, their time is valuable, and vendors are ready to meet their expectations. It’s no longer the simple farmers’ market of 1924; it’s a CSA, a farmers’ market, or a food hub with a chance to make life changing impacts. Our goal is to help you create next generation markets that meet the innovative needs of your local vendors and the digital requirements of your customers.
We're On a Mission
The Farm Fresh Network Partnership Program empowers organizations, agencies, and market associations dedicated to reviving local economies through the power of small businesses. It connects them with the innovation, talent and drive inherently located in every neighborhood. Our mission is to ensure they have access, the right tools, and a platform to take control of their success and build a better tomorrow.
