On-line matching of vendors and marketplaces

17 years ago

I have been selling at Farmers Markets for quite a few years now. Two things are for certain: 1. Vendors are always looking and listening for leads to bigger/better/ or more lucrative markets for their products (within their preferred driving distance). Market managers are very often left with open spaces and or product needs for which they would like to find a vendor.

Do the depts of agriculture in ANY of the 50 states offer a website service that would allow postings in order to match a vendor with a market or a market with a vendor?

Do any of the 50 states have Farm Bureaus that offer such a service? Anything? Anywhere?

If so I would like to investigate how the system works. If not, then why don't we all start clamoring for something of this nature in each of our states? It would be a win-win situation for all.

It would promote our farm-raised products and provide even more variety to our urban customers. Farm market managers would be dancing in the walkways at having all their spaces filled and their customers pouring in! We could be turning greater profits and doing a little dancing of our own!

Thoughts?
