Hi Jane,

We are not selling to farmers, vendor, or farmers market - we are just letting people know about a free resource for marketing their farm and/or farmers market.

I am on the Marketing Committee for MIFMA and I also work on Real Time Farms, and thought it would be a good thing, for particularly farms to know about. The website gets the whole community marketing for their own farm.

Best wishes,
Cara

Get your local farms and farmers' markets on the map with Real Time Farms!

Real Time Farms is a crowd-sourced, live, local food guide designed to excite, engage, and educate people about where they can find fresh, local sources of food. Everyone can contribute by adding and/or editing information and pictures to share their excitement and enthusiasm for their local market, farm, and/or vendor.

Join this movement! Simply post 5 photos of your local market or a local farm!

"A picture's worth a thousand words"! Motivate and excite other people to visit your local markets and farms!

  • It's the only LIVE, real time marketing site for farms and markets (it's always FRESH)
  • Anyone can edit and/or add information or pictures to a farm and/or farmers' market page
  • It's the only marketing tool that uses images as its base; celebrating the life, color, and seasonality of fresh, local food
  • It's totally free for all farmers' markets, farm stands, and farms across the country
Passionate about your local farmers market?

Once you add photos, you can embed a LIVE slideshow of all of the pictures being uploaded to your local market's page on Real Time Farms onto your own website or blog (so now, the whole community can take pics of your market and see them on RTF and on your website)!

What people are saying about Real Time Farms:

"Real Food! Real Easy! Real Time Farms! 

Mount Clemens Farmers Market always wants our customers to know where, when and what is fresh and available at our market and ‘real time’ market photos accomplishes that for us.... each market day!  It's wonderful that RTF has the ability to update our web page slide show as new photos are posted.  That's time we can spend waiting on our customers instead! Lately, customers have been telling us that they come more often now to the MCFM, than they have in the past, because the photos remind them to ‘buy local’ and inspire them to make healthier food choices.  Just from a photo or two......Amazing! "One picture is worth a thousand words”… has to be the ‘inspiration’ for Real Time Farms!" says Pearl, Mount Clemens Farmers Market Manager.


"I am very excited about the launch of Real Time Farms. It's a fantastic resource that will help raise awareness of the wonderful diversity of items that local producers bring to the Ann Arbor Farmers' Market each week" says Molly Notarianni, manager of the Ann Arbor Farmers' Market.

So, post your 5 photos and get your local farm and/or market on the map! 

Thank you so much for your time,

The Real Time Farms Team
