We’d love for you to join us in building a more sustainable food system.

We’re trying to do something a little different here at Radish. We operate on a consignment model which means producers set the price, and own their products until sale.

Radish Farm Stop takes 30% of the sales price and a shelf fee to support operating expenses, while producers receive 70% of the sales price for their goods. Through this relationship, Radish Farm Stop is a steward of farmers’ produce and small businesses’ products. Consumers are buying directly from producers.

Operating year round in Minnesota gives our farms an outlets to sell all winter. The interface that we provide between the customer and the farmer also maintains farm identity with the customer.

There is a nominal shelf fee correlated to the number of unique SKUs you sell during a pay period - this will be waived for the first two payouts as part of your introduction, and then will proceed according to the following guidelines:

• Tier 1: If net sales are $1,000 or greater, or if the producer has more than 15 SKUs for sale in a given period - $15 per payout, per location.

• Tier 2: If a producer's net sales are between $500 and $1,000, and you have 15 SKUs or less - $10 per payout, per location.

• Tier 3: If net sales are $500 or less, and you have 15 SKUs or less, the fee is a flat $5 per payout, per location.

The reason for this is to help support a fair distribution and use of shelf space.

Why a consignment based model?

• The Farm Stop model is rooted in partnership: community working together to strengthen the local food system. Consignment fosters a more collaborative and less transactional relationship with producers, and improves transparency for customers.

Advantages to consignment:

• Customers are able to directly support producers, at prices the producer sets.

• We work collaboratively with producers to establish their product mix and sales strategy .

• Producers are able to experiment more with their offerings and trial items like you would at a farmers market

• We are able to be more agile, and support more producers

• We represent every producer carefully, taking care of the stocking, merchandising, and ordering, so you can focus on your products.

While we prioritize consignment partnerships, we understand that the consignment model doesn’t work for everyone, if you are only able to sell wholesale at this time, we still encourage you to apply.
