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
“In the past I’ve worked with software companies that were difficult to communicate with and made the process extremely frustrating. So I’ve been really impressed with how responsible and helpful the folks at LFM have been (and so patient with me as I’m learning!). It really has made a big difference for me as I’m learning the ropes.” -Caitlin Lawrence, Wolfville Farmers Market
HOW DOES LOCAL FOOD MARKETPLACE WORK?
“We started using LFM in 2019, and it’s the only way we could’ve successfully pivoted our business [in 2020]. Without LFM we could not have managed shifting gears from wholesale to delivering CSA boxes as fast as we did. In March our orders shut down, and by April we were already selling and delivering 250 CSA boxes a week.” —Teresa Kelly, Kansas City Food Hub
