Business Idea:
A user-friendly website that helps people easily find local farmer’s markets and vendors by location, schedule, and filters, fostering community engagement and supporting local agriculture.
Problem:
Locating nearby farmer’s markets and trusted vendors is often challenging, leading to reduced customer engagement for markets and vendors, and less access to fresh, local produce for consumers.
Solution:
An online platform where farmers’ markets register and manage their listings, vendors create profiles, and visitors can search, filter, review, and connect with markets and vendors effortlessly.
Target Audience:
Local consumers seeking fresh produce, farmers’ markets organizers, and vendors looking to increase their visibility and customer base within their community.
Monetization:
Revenue streams include market/vendor registration fees, premium profile features, advertising opportunities, and monetized sponsored content.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
The only comprehensive, vendor-verified platform combining searchable, filterable market listings with vendor profiles, reviews, and direct community engagement, tailored to support local food ecosystems.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a simple MVP by partnering with a few local farmers’ markets to test core features, gather user feedback, and iterate before expanding coverage and features for broader adoption.
