About The Farmers Lot

The Farmers Lot Pty. Ltd. hosts online marketplaces, including our hobby farmers marketplace, fodder store and a virtual livestock sale yard. Much like farmers set up tables or stalls in local car-parks, we host farmers markets and rent out virtual stalls. Farmers, market-gardeners and backyard enthusiasts can sell online to a wide audience. You can start selling in minutes on multiple marketplaces (websites).

YOU can sell fruit, veggies, free range eggs, milk, livestock (and more) easily, online, to anyone. We put farmers markets on computers and phones everyhere! 

The product range will grow as more farmers join us. More farmers is great for everyone, because more farmers means more variety and more variety means more customers! As more farmers join us we plan to increase our service offering.

Our CEO  is farmer in the mount lofty rangers 45km out of Adelaide, so we know farming and are willing to work with you! We currently only have a few sellers, this means there is a lot of opportunity for any farmer, gardener, livestock agent, shearer etc to get in early and set up a store and build a brand before your competitors do!  

Don't wait to set up your own hosted farm-shop and start putting extra money in your pocket!

What is a online farmers market

A online farmers market is much like a traditional farmers market. It is similar in that a number of farmers sell their products in the one place. When you register your farm you set up your get your own stall, this is a space where people can browse just your products. Many sites claim they are a online farmers market but in reality it is just one operator selling produce. A true market has many sellers independently deciding what to sell and at what price. A ecommerce site works together with a physical site, market your products online and set your pick-up point at the local markets. Similar products are sold in each model, though The Farmers Lot also allows the selling of livestock.

Opportunity to grow
