'Only so many people come to farmers markets and there are just more people that order on their phone now,' Terri Priest, owner of Priest Family Farm, said. The farm works with Market Wagon, a delivery service for local produce.
Market Wagon works with local farmers across central Indiana to get their products in the hands of local buyers. One family farm said it has helped them grow their business and reach more customers than ever before.
The Priest family has been working with Market Wagon for four years. They are one of over 190 farmers the company works with across the state. "All of that money stays here in central Indiana,” Carter said. “We are not selling any food from outside of the state or especially outside of the country. That means those dollars go straight to farmers. To paying workers and buying supplies."
While farming can be difficult, the Priest family said having access to online sales is allowing them to live out their dreams.
