Changing An Industry
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

FarmOn.com has been such an amazing company to start. We (the team) have grown and become even more excited about the direction of the agricultural industry. There is so much to be excited about. Our company has developed the site and is keeping it changing with what the industry is demanding. Now, for a little background information….

FarmOn by the numbers – we are 7 people, 5 females and 1 male along with 1 other male employee. Out of the 8 people involved in FarmOn 7 of them are between the ages of 23 – 31. Our 8th member is the more sohpisticated extra life experienced one ;) All of the original partners come from some sort of agriculture background, many of them at one point thought they would not be able to just farm that they would either have to give it up or have second jobs….now we think we can do better than that!

There was a survey done on young adults between the ages of 18 -30 about the industry, what they thought was needed to be successful and what would make them want to continue to be a part of the industry. One of the biggest responses was of course money along with positive affirmation from the people involved in the industry. They want the negative talk and the discouraging conversations about the industry to turn into positive ones. Ones where they can start to look for new innovative solutions. Ones where they can become inspired and hopeful! Ones that are going to help turn an industry back into a sustainable business! FarmOn wants to help. We want to be a place where these conversations can happen. We are offering tools and new ways of marketing products to cut out the middle man and sell directly from the farm. As team we want this industry to be a good one…no a GREAT one! We have faith it will, do you?
