Shipping & Pickup Resources
Farmers can offer whatever shipping or pickup options they're most comfortable with. Whether you require pickup at your farm during certain days and times, coordinate pickup at your local farmers market, or ship directly to customer's doorsteps.
Shipping Carriers
One of the first things you'll need to do is select a shipping carrier. There are varioius options but would be worth checking UPS, FedEx, to name a few. It's typically best to set up a business account to get the best rates and you'll have the freedom to print shipping labels directly at home while scheduling pickups that go out to delivery.
