Use Farm2Me to connect with sustainable food buyers and food pantries, and come fight food waste with us.

OUR STANDARDS

Each year, more than one third of food produced in the world goes to waste, and it is responsible for 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions. We are on a mission to change that - are you with us ?

We have high standards for the food we sell through Farm2Me. For every product we carry, we consider how it is grown, made, or processed, as well as where it comes from and how it tackles its food waste management initiatives.

We care about animal welfare, biodynamic practices, sustainable production methods, fair labor, regenerative agriculture, and anti-waste. You don’t have to be certified organic but we like to work with farmers who consider themselves stewards of the land and producers who source ingredients responsibly. We hope you feel the same way!

How long do you store products in your warehouses?
We like to think of our warehouses more as depots than traditional warehouses. Items come in and we get them out as soon as possible, usually within a few hours so that our customers get products at their peak freshness. As such, this typically means that our partners make multiple deliveries each week. If your products are shelf-stable, we’re flexible on this depending on warehouse availability.

How much does it cost to sell on Farm2Me?
Farm2Me is committed to getting our partners--the people who grow and make food--as much of every sale as possible. Making your businesses more sustainable financially is why we exist. When partners sell through us, they get about 100% of every dollar our customers spend compared to the 10% producers usually see when selling through traditional grocers, or 70% when selling through competitor marketplaces.

What are your payment terms?
We pay all invoices within Net 0 of receiving them from our suppliers. You’re welcome to invoice us after each delivery, weekly, or monthly--whatever works for you. All payments are made electronically.
