Local food sourcing Position to offer locally sourced produce and farm products to nearby retailers, schools, and institutions, capitalizing on a strong farming focus and a regional supply network.

Digital storefronts Leverage the current tech stack (Squarespace, WooCommerce, WordPress) to upsell marketing services, improve online vendor catalogs, and enable online ordering or curbside pickup for additional revenue streams.

Community engagement Capitalize on events like cabbage toss and mayoral engagement to create sponsorships, branded experiences, and seasonal campaigns that attract local businesses and sponsors seeking community visibility.

Growth potential With revenue in the multi-million range and a mid-sized team, there is room to scale through expanded vendor onboarding, premium marketplace features, and targeted B2B partnerships with regional farms, grocers, and food banks.
