Easier & Smarter Shopping
Greater access to a statewide network of growers, resulting in fresher, higher quality products and reduced reliance on wholesale imports.
Ability to purchase from multiple farms at one point of sale via the Rooted Farmers online platform and/or shopping the in-person market in Brunswick, ME instead of having to manage multiple transactions, deliveries and pickups.
Sustainability
Limit material waste and save time processing flowers, compared to imported flowers, due to minimal packaging and lesser likelihood of shipping damage.
Reduce your company’s carbon footprint.
