December 9, 2008 – BuyFromTheFarm.ca is working to link Canadians from Newfoundland to British Columbia with a consumer website where all aspects of Canadian agricultural product can be found.

BuyFromTheFarm.ca is a consumer-centric website with the goal of being the hub between urban consumers and rural producers. The website provides an interactive community where farmers and urbanites can meet and exchange farm products, desires for new products and ideas, buying experiences, and agricultural concerns. This interaction will create a dynamic and growing Internet destination for consumers looking to participate in rural Canada.

Consumers have access to farm market locations and services using a national database of farmers’ markets. Similarly, direct farm purchases are facilitated through product lists, location maps, and contact information. Upcoming features will include recipes, educational materials and links.

The website caters to producers of all commodities, including vegetables, livestock, grains, and specialty crops. BuyFromTheFarm.ca also engages food processors and other downstream members of the agri-food value chain to link producers, processors, and consumers.
