Rooted Farmers is an agricultural technology startup dedicated to providing small and mid-size farms with the tools and resources necessary for growing and scaling their businesses. We serve as a software and online sales platform, providing farms with tools and analytics to support inventory management and sales, connecting farmers with wholesale and retail buyers.
