FARM SHOPS
What?
Farm shops are independent stores located on farms where the farm’s own products are sold directly to consumers without intermediaries. These shops often offer a wide range of fresh and high-quality products from the farm, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, and dairy products.
Why?
Farm shops offer fresher and higher quality products compared to regular stores, as the products often come from the local area and do not need to be transported long distances. Additionally, farm shops provide an opportunity to support local farms and promote sustainable food production.
How?
Farm shops operate by farms establishing their own stores on their premises or nearby. Consumers can visit the shops and purchase the farm’s products directly. In some cases, farm shops may also offer the option to order products online or by phone
Where?
Farm shops are usually located on the farms’ own premises or nearby. They can be part of the farm’s buildings or separate buildings specifically intended for shop purposes
Who?
Farm shops are open to all consumers who appreciate fresh and high-quality products from farms. They offer the opportunity to get to know local agricultural production and directly support local farmers and farms.
Buy directly from the producer and experience the genuine feeling.
