We're going through unusual times.
You're probably wondering whether you can rely on your traditional farmers markets or farm stand setup.
Maybe you already know that you need to change the way you get your vegetables to your clients.
And you're wondering how you can take online orders to reduce physical onsite contact.
It might seem like a big job to set up an online farm store from scratch.
But it doesn't have to be!
Normally I write about spreadsheets, and seeds, and good farming.
But this summer I've decided to write about how to
Move Your Farm Store Online!
Who am I?
I am a founding member of Tourne-Sol Co-operative Farm.
At Tourne-Sol, we grow organic vegetables for a 500 member CSA. We also grow organic seeds for sale.
We've had an online store since 2012. Initially, the online store was only set up to sell seeds. Over the years we've expanded how we use the store to take orders for vegetables, dry goods, books, reusable bags, and more!
I must admit that there were times when our online store caused us a number of headaches but it is now one of the reliable pillars of our farm.
I want to share the lessons I learned building and running an online farm store with you!
