Farms â€Ē Growers â€Ē Independent producers

Online Farmers Market UK

Discover fresh produce from UK farms, farm shops, home growers and independent producers in one online marketplace. GrowHive makes it easier to browse what real growers are selling and discover the people behind the food.

The farmers market idea, online

A Farmers Market Without the Market Day

A traditional farmers market brings customers and independent producers together in one physical place. GrowHive takes that basic idea online.

Instead of waiting for a particular market day, customers can browse available products, explore seller profiles and discover different farms, growers and producers through one marketplace.

What is available can change naturally as crops are harvested, stock changes and seasonal products come and go.

Meet the people behind the produce

Know Who Your Food Comes From

A marketplace should not have to hide the producer behind a generic product page.

GrowHive is built around individual seller profiles so customers can learn more about the farm, grower or producer offering the product.

This gives customers more context about who they are buying from while allowing independent sellers to build their own marketplace identity.
