For Restaurants and Food Businesses
Local ingredients, the way your kitchen actually buys.
Find farms and suppliers near you, plan around the season, and set up the standing orders your menu depends on.
You set the terms directly with the farm.
Search beyond a product name
Variety and form
Not just tomatoes. The variety, the pack, the size, and how it arrives.
Capability and lead time
What a farm can actually supply, how often, and how much notice it needs.
Pickup or delivery
Whether you collect it, they bring it, or it moves through a hub.
Plan menus around the season
Seasonal timing tells you what is likely to be good and local in the coming weeks, so you can plan a menu before you commit to it.
It does not tell you what is in a cooler this morning. A quick conversation with the farm still decides that.
Build standing relationships
The best kitchen sourcing is not one order — it is a farm that knows your Tuesday. Describe the volume you need, how often, the pack you want, and how long the program runs.
Farms, hubs and distributors can respond when the fit is real. You confirm price, packaging, timing and payment directly with them.
What FarmerBuddy does — and does not do
FarmerBuddy helps your kitchen find local farms and suppliers, and helps those farms be found. It does not set prices, hold inventory, deliver product, or process payment.
Everything about the actual order is agreed between you and the supplier.
