Retail System

The Retail Unit: The bottom container of the Farmery is the retail outlet for the crops grown at the Farmery and for other local farmers to supplement products that the Farmery does not produce. Some of the growing sacks will be taken into the Farmery shop below where customers will have an opportunity to harvest the herbs and greens, thereby giving the consumers a closer relationship to their food.
Farmers Market: A farmers market will be held at the Farmery 2 times a week, where local farmers are able to sell their products and receive 100% of the price for their crops. Crops that are not sold at the farmers market are taken inside and the price of the products will be split 50/50 between the farmers and the farmery. This allows local farmers a more profitable alternative to other farmers markets and it gives the Farmery a greater community presence and a diverse selection of products. The 50/50 sharing of the price gives both the Farmery and the farmers a higher margin than using the traditional wholesale/distribution model.
Deliveries to restaurants and internet orders: Internet orders and restaurants will be delivered simultaneously. Internet orders will be charged a price of $10 per home delivery and have a minimum order of $25 dollars.
