Market Ready Farm-to-Fork Direct Marketing Resources
The goal of the Market Ready portal is to provide profitable alternatives to Virginia farmers and ranchers who are ready to explore direct marketing opportunities beyond the farm gate to meet consumer demand for food and fiber products provided by trusted sources. To reach our goal, we support the development of direct marketing curriculum and training, online resources, social networking, and farmer-to-buyer connections.
