What is Produce Path for Customers?
Produce Path for Customers (formerly FM Engage) is an iOS and Android mobile and web-based application that allows farmers market managers to share up-to-date information about their market directly to their customers.
What can Produce Path do for customers?
- Find Farmers Markets. Find markets nearby and add favorite markets to your homepage.
- Get Market Logistics. Find out about your local farmers market hours of operation, locations, incentive programs offered, additional services offered, and more.
- Review Produce Availability. Learn about what products are likely to be available at the market, items with limited availability, and what vendors are likely to be at the market.
- Plan For Your Visit. Create a grocery list, find recipes, and learn about upcoming events at local farmers markets.
- Subscribe For Updates. Get information directly from the farmers market manager with the option to opt-in to get an email notification each time your market posts a message to their profile.
