WILL LOCAL FOOD MARKETPLACE WORK
for MY BUSINESS?

From small farms to wholesale distributors, our customizable platform works for fresh food businesses of all scales.

“What I love is the integration between the orders coming in and populating invoices, and then with a click of a button generating my harvest list, my pack list, and my labels. That’s what saves me hours every week.”
-Caroline Pam, Kitchen Garden Farm

“We reached out to LFM, and in two weeks, LFM created a way for us to create our routes, download our orders into a program (it’s Routific ) and then it uploads back into LFM and prints out the invoices in the right order and groups them by route. It’s pretty cool [to get this feature] when it didn’t even exist two weeks ago! Working with a company like LFM – a company that’s willing to respond like that – I mean, that’s a lot easier than calling up somebody that just really wants you to buy some package and do it their way.”
-Andre Cantelmo, Three River Farmers Alliance

“I often think about how much our workload would increase without LFM. I know some of the folks here in Nova Scotia that are using LFM and we’re all so grateful. I know some markets that are trying to sell online Google sheets or spreadsheets and I’m like…holy moly, I can’t….like, kudos to you for making that work but I can’t imagine it. I can’t imagine orders coming through on an excel sheet, tallying them up, charging customers, figuring out how much they owe and making sure the vendors know what they need to bring in…it’s all too much. With LFM, all of those pieces happen automatically – I don’t even have to worry about it..”

HOW DOES LOCAL FOOD MARKETPLACE WORK?

“We love that Subscription Builder gave our customers even more options. And it gave us a new way to do CSA. Before Subscription Builder we never had the customizable share option, so it was new for us, it was new for customers. I think it gave people a new idea of how CSAs can be run.” – William Jennings, Dreaming Out Loud
