Abstract

Traditional farm sales involving in-person purchasing of products at farm markets has changed dramatically with the advent of social distancing recommendations to reduce the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus. Online sales may provide new or enhanced income earning opportunities for farmers willing to adopt online ordering practices. Additionally, adopting online ordering practices may increase farm competitiveness in a post-COVID19 marketplace through the continuance of customer service through the added convenience of online ordering. The purpose of this extension bulletin is to provide information for extension agents and their farm clientele on potential online ordering options for use in farm sales.
