Become A Vendor

Sell Your Products through the food hub

The Randolph County Food Hub connects local farms with customers within the county and surrounding communities. Customers place orders online each week, and vendors deliver products to the hub for coordinated pickup. The hub manages ordering, marketing, and customer communication, creating a strong and reliable marketplace for local food that supports both farmers and the community.​

how the food hub works

Each week follows a simple cycle:
​
• Customers place orders online (Thursday–Sunday)
• Farmers harvest based on orders (Monday)
• Vendors deliver products to the hub (Tuesday)
• Orders are packed and prepared for pickup
• Customers pick up their orders (Wednesday)
​
We handle the ordering system, communication, and logistics—so you can focus on growing.

Why Farmers Participate?

Selling through the Randolph County Food Hub allows producers to:

• Access a growing base of local customers
• Sell products through an easy-to-use online marketplace
• Deliver orders to one central location instead of attending multiple markets
