Connecting Families with Local Farms
About Family Farm Direct
Family Farm Direct LLC is challenging the status quo of the food supply chain by creating a direct-to-market platform that reconnects local communities with family farms through a contactless approach. We aggregate independent, USDA-certified processors to deliver scale while preserving the heritage of family farms.
We build resilient local supply chains for all farm product categories by breaking down key barriers: connection, processing, product development, and distribution.

About the Founder | CEO
Benjamin Barnett
Working at a local commercial dairy further expanded Barnett’s understanding of large-scale agricultural practices and highlighted the stark differences between corporate farming and the hands-on approach of smaller family farms. Barnett served as a crop advisor and animal nutritionist at Martin’s Elevator for over a decade, where his expertise in agronomy and animal nutrition enabled him to help other farms optimize crop yields and improve animal health.
Recognizing the urgent need for family farms to secure financial stability, Barnett launched Family Farm Direct — a company dedicated to fostering direct connections between farms and homes. Committed to supporting local farms, Barnett is working to revolutionize the farm-to-table experience, building sustainable local food systems and a resilient agricultural economy.
