With over $160 million in local food sales through our system, let us tell you why LFM stands above the rest.
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..”
-Lindsay, Market Manager at WFM2Go
HOW DOES LOCAL FOOD MARKETPLACE WORK?
“[Our vendors find LFM] really responsive. They like being able to go in and check how their sales are, adding more product if that have it, adjusting things. They like the detailed pick lists that come out on Thursday and they’re doing a super job at bring us well-labeled [using LFM labeling systems] and well-organized product. It’s also really easy for our volunteers to pick them out and add them to the customers’ orders as they arrive.”
-Rachel Beyer, Bloomington Community Farmers Market
