What is a direct marketer of food?

Imagine you could grab your carrots straight from the field, pull the cheese straight from the dairy or take the freshest eggs directly from under the chicken - metaphorically speaking. This is exactly what direct marketers make possible. They are the bridge between the farm and your dining table, with no detours, no frills.

Direct marketers are our local heroes who sell their products with passion and dedication. They are farmers, gardeners, beekeepers, cheesemakers and so on who have made it their mission to sell their products directly to you, the consumer. This can be at the weekly market, in their own farm store, via an online store or even in a "self-service box" on the roadside.

Why do we love direct marketers?

Freshness and quality: The products are so fresh that you almost think they still have a soul. You know exactly where your food comes from and can often see for yourself.

Transparency: Direct marketers offer an insight into production. They share their stories, their challenges and their successes. This creates trust and a connection that is often lost on supermarket shelves.

Supporting the local economy: By buying from direct marketers, you support local agriculture and therefore the economy in your region. The money stays where it belongs - in the community.

Sustainability: Short transportation routes mean fewer CO2 emissions. In addition, many direct marketers work sustainably and conserve resources because they know that they are directly responsible for their land.
