Farms
Farms producing food and suitable agricultural products for customers.
Take your farm, farm shop or growing business online with GrowHive. Create your farm profile, list available produce, control your pricing and give customers another way to discover and buy from you.
Many farms already sell successfully through farm shops, farm gates, markets, box schemes and their own websites. GrowHive does not need to replace any of those channels.
Instead, GrowHive can give your farm another marketplace presence where customers can discover your business, browse what you currently have available and order suitable produce.
This is particularly useful when stock changes with harvests, seasons or day-to-day farm availability.
GrowHive is designed to support a wide range of established farms, farm shops and independent producers.
