Apple Farm Market
Can an apple farm market its produce directly to the consumer?
It can, and it’s becoming an extremely popular method for many
local farmers. It is also much more ecologically sound, as it eliminates
the need for shipping.
The apple farm market not only sells the raw produce from its orchards,
but often will sell finished food products as well. Cider and jams are
always favorites. Baked goods such as pies and bread are becoming more
and more popular as well.
Being able to pick your own fruit is a major benefit of visiting an
apple farm market. Many of these farms will set rates by the peck and
bushel. This is an excellent way for the farmer to save money on harvesting,
and allows the general public the opportunity to get the freshest produce
available.
