About FarmCo
The Future is Local
FarmCo is the farmers’ marketplace for Wales. We connect you directly with local farmers, growers, bakers, butchers, dairies, fishmongers and food makers, so you can shop real food from people you can name, trace and trust.
Why we started
FarmCo began with a simple problem. Good food was all around us, but it was too hard for most people to find, buy and build into their normal weekly shop.
Small farms were growing better food than the supermarket shelf could explain. Bakers, dairies, butchers and growers had the craft, the soil, the animals and the knowledge, but not always the time, tech or reach.
So we built FarmCo as a bridge. A place where you can buy food with a face, a farm, a place and a story behind it.
The new model
A marketplace built around farms, not warehouses.
FarmCo is changing from a traditional shop into a producer led marketplace. That matters. It means farmers and food makers can sell through FarmCo while keeping control of what they sell, when it is available, how it is fulfilled and what it costs.
Producers list their food
Farms and makers add products, manage stock, set prices and tell customers exactly where their food comes from.
You order in one place
You can shop across local producers in one website, from veg boxes and meat boxes to bread, dairy, pantry goods and seasonal specials.
Food moves with purpose
Orders are organised around collection, local delivery and producer routes, so the system works for the people making the food.
What we believe
Food should be honest, local and worth knowing about.
We are not trying to copy supermarkets. We are building another route. One that gives customers better food, gives producers a fairer route to market and keeps more money moving through local farms and food businesses.
Local first
We prioritise Welsh farms and food makers. Local food builds stronger towns, stronger rural businesses and a more resilient food system.
Known producers
You should know who made your food, where it came from and why it matters. Traceability should feel normal.
Regenerative thinking
We support farming that respects soil, animals, seasons and land. That includes pasture fed meat, organic growing and food made with care.
Fairer food trade
Producers need a better route than chasing supermarket margins. FarmCo gives them a direct online channel without each producer needing their own shop.
Our producers
The best food comes from people who care about the details.
FarmCo brings together farms and food makers across Wales, from organic growers and pasture fed meat producers to artisan bakers, dairies, fermenters, fishmongers and pantry makers.
Where we are going
One market for the food Wales does best.
The next stage is bigger than an online shop. FarmCo is building the digital layer for local food, where each producer has their place, each customer can find food nearby and each community can support the farms around it.
Join the market
Buy better food. Know where it came from.
Every order helps build a better food system in Wales. One that is more local, more transparent and more connected to the farms and food makers doing the work.
