The Farm Directory: A new website linking producers with consumers interested in farm and ranch products including post products and agri-tourism events.
Trent Teegerstrom
Summary
The Farm Directory was designed so that producers can easily list the availability of their farm products and events by season into a searchable database where consumers are sure to find the most unique "needle in a haystack" that is even within a specified distance from their zip code!! We welcome you to search as a consumer and post products and events as a direct farm marketing and tourism provider. The site is a collaborative effort between public and private partners with a desire to help producers in the Southwest connect with local consumers that wish to directly buy their farm products or attend farm related events. The development and maintenance of this site is provided by Growing Business Solutions with direction and input from the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics. In addition, local county Cooperative Extension personnel will assist in signing up new “producer members” and in keeping the database of producers maintained. Please request your own user account for free at this site if you are a producer that would like to market your farm products and/or events directly to the public. Financial support for developing this site has been directly or indirectly provided by the Risk Management Agency (Outreach), University of Arizona Cooperative Extension, Western Center for Risk Management Education, and the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics – University of Arizona. We are grateful to the support of these sponsoring organizations.
