About Online Operations: Selling Local Food Online

Join Laura Matney, our General Manager, to learn how we manage a robust online marketplace for local food. We offer online groceries via pickup and delivery service, a year-round weekly produce box, a monthly meat subscription, a seasonal flower subscription, and seasonal special events. We also sell directly to restaurants and other institutional customers. 

Get a detailed overview of these operations and important lessons learned. Topics covered will include logistical operations, producer communications, inventory management, staffing, customer service, and software.  

Argus Farm Stop has been in operation since 2014. We work with 300 producers to sell local food on consignment, and we have paid out to producers over $30 million since 2014, with the top 75 farms receiving at least $44,000 in payouts in 2024.
