Our Mission
To cultivate an economically vibrant community of local farms and thoughtful consumers by providing a daily marketplace where producers can sell locally-grown produce and other goods, year-round.
What is a Farm Stop?
The name, coined by Argus Farm Stop, is a new business model that seeks to support small farms, by providing a place where farmers can stop in during their busy days for a bit of coffee, conversation, and community. Importantly, they can then leave product behind and the Farm Stop will step in to represent the farm in selling their products.
Customers can make a quick visit to shop for all their food needs, and in the process learn more about where their food comes from, connect with farmers, and their community.
The farm stop name connects the community of people across the country that are strengthening local farms and food through this model.
When you shop at Radish Farm Stop, you are directly supporting local agriculture & your community.
Farm Stops cut out the middle man, connecting you directly to the person who grew or produced your food
