Here at Ubuntu Online Urban Farmers Market, we envision a thriving local food web, accessible to all. In order to achieve that, we want to connect YOU - our local farmers,  makers and bakers - with the Franklin County, Ohio community, increasing your sales and strengthening your capacity. 

Our mission is to promote the incredible diversity of food we cultivate and encourage chefs to feature it, markets to sell it, and people near and far to eat it. The big idea is the more we can work together, the more we can collectively sell and promote the food we create here.

 Members have access to:

• the online sales platform
• broad customer base
• weekly product aggregation and distribution to customers
• community-wide marketing campaign
• networking opportunities with other producers & customers

  Any producer or maker located in the Franklin County, Ohio area is welcome to join! We just ask that you have all required licensing for legal sale of their product(s). All products offered for sale must comply with State and Federal standards governing weight, packaging and labeling.
