“LFM is so open to feedback. There’s always an open door for collaboration, and I can’t tell you how much we feel supported from LFM.” –Emily Mayberry, Sales Manager at WMGC

“The reason that we are so committed to LFM is that the farm-level reporting is way beyond anything that’s out there. And that’s for a hub that’s critical. Not only can we see reports, but so can the farmers. Producers can log in and see current sales, past sales, comparison to last year, etc. I can run reports at the producer level for pretty much anything. Right now we’re analyzing pricing for our boneless skinless chicken breasts across four different farms. Sales this year, last year, and all the prices. All that data is clicks away. For me to be able to compare multiple farms and what they sold last year and this year and look at their pricing–that is critical for for me. If you’re going to actively manage the hub, that’s critical.” -David Nowacoski, Delivered Fresh

“[The LFM Team’s] hand holding was super important. It’s why we’ve been so transparent and willing to help others, as it’s something we didn’t have.”
-Robbi Mixon, Alaska Food Hub

“We started using LFM in 2019, and it’s the only way we could’ve successfully pivoted our business [in 2020]. Without LFM we could not have managed shifting gears from wholesale to delivering CSA boxes as fast as we did. In March our orders shut down, and by April we were already selling and delivering 250 CSA boxes a week.”
-Teresa Kelly, Kansas City Food Hub

“LFM really seemed to fit what we needed to do, and was an excellent decision looking back.”
-Shannon Carroll, High Country Food Hub

“It feels good when you have smart people like LFM in your corner. You guys will take a call from me on a Sunday night. It’s not just the ability to customize, it’s that level of care. I know if I’m gonna hop on the phone with Amy, she knows and understands our needs. She’s smart, she’s gonna make suggestions, and she’s always able to help me in a really genuine way. LFM helps us make the software do what we need it to do. ”
-Oliver Gubenko, Harvest Drop 

“We reached out to LFM, and in two weeks, LFM created a way for us to create our routes, download our orders into a program (it’s Routific ) and then it uploads back into LFM and prints out the invoices in the right order and groups them by route.  It’s pretty cool [to get this feature] when it didn’t even exist two weeks ago! Working with a company like LFM – a company that’s willing to respond like that – I mean, that’s a lot easier than calling up somebody that just really wants you to buy some package and do it their way.”
-Andre Cantelmo, Three River Farmers Alliance

“We went from working with 25 restaurant customers to over 100 since implementing the software over a year ago. We were able to scale to do 4x as many customers as what we had thought. I wouldn’t have had time to do the marketing side without the 18 hours we save each week with LFM.”
-Jeff Bednar, Profound Foods

“Transitioning to the Local Food Marketplace platform has been a game-changer for Corbin Hill’s Farm Share program. It has allowed us to implement a sliding scale payment model to support lower-income Shareholders and has improved Shareholder retention. Additionally, the built-in reporting functions have made it easier to keep track of year to year data. The LFM team has been exceptional in hearing our concerns about previous iterations of the software and has implemented updates as a result of our feedback. They took a strong interest in understanding our challenges and developed solutions that work. I highly recommend LFM to anyone operating a flexible subscription-based program!”
