Why Farmers use GrownBy Wholesale

Advantages of GrownBy Wholesale

The GrownBy Wholesale marketplace is a private, invite-only marketplace for farms to sell directly to restaurants, institutions, retailers and other wholesale buyers. 

This marketplace offers several unique features for your farm:

1. Invite chefs, retail buyers, and institutions to buy

With the GrownBy Wholesale marketplace, you invite the buyers. This means that your farm's wholesale list will only be available to your wholesale customers.  

2. Sell wholesale and retail from a single inventory

With GrownBy wholesale, you can assign a single product to both retail and wholesale catalogs at unique prices. For instance, you could sell quarts of apples to your retail customers and cases or bin of apples to your wholesale customers. In this way, you are selling from a single inventory across your farm's marketing channels. For most farms this will result in simplified reporting, packing, and operational planning. 

3. Treat your business customers as businesses

On GrownBy wholesale, buyer accounts have unique features that makes their jobs easier. These features include: unique customer fields for businesses; the ability to add multiple employees to the same business account; the ability to add PO numbers on checkout; and, for certain institutions, combined billing across farms. 

4. Order Editing, Minimums, and Terms

With GrownBy Wholesale, we have incorporated a unique order editing flow that adheres to the expectations of your buyers. For instance, customers pay when the item is received (rather than ordered). In addition, you can set terms for buyers and a unique wholesale cart minimum. 


We look forward to introducing you to this new GrownBy marketplace and helping you sell more wholesale from your farm!
