Farmstand / Farm Market Resources
 Farmstands across the state are one of the most common way for consumers
to find locally grown foods. Many farmers have transitioned from wholesaling
to retailing via farmstands, PYO, and farmers markets. These options, which
eliminate the middle level cost of distribution, gives the farmer the opportunity
for higher profitablility.
Location is one of the most important factors for a successfull farmstand.
The general public favor easy access and the ease of a shopping experience.
