Farmers' markets have existed in various forms since the 18th century. These retail marketplaces have generally consisted of booths, tables, and stands where farmers sold an amalgam of foods directly from farmers to consumers. Throughout the ages, such markets have existed across every corner of the world with each reflecting the local cultural needs and economic preferences.
Why? Because they work. They linked populations together, allowed neighbors to engage in mutually beneficial exchanges, increased traffic to the local businesses, and gave consumers greater access to a variety of merchandise.
The problem, however, is that such markets have hardly evolved over the past centuries. Sure, you can find a good food truck here and there or even a talented artisan of some sort at the farmers' markets of today. That's great and wonderful, but good luck attracting any real attention worth the effort as a small business. Better yet, good luck finding other worthwhile local services like accountants, web designers, or photographers as a customer.
But hey, that's where we come in – we're the evolution, the revolution, the farmers' market of tomorrow.
