As a sustainable farming advocate, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to create direct, meaningful connections between growers and the communities they serve. That’s exactly why My Farm Page was created—to support local agriculture, promote healthier food options, and help young farmers build strong roots in their communities.
The Mission Behind My Farm Page
Jacob Meredith, CEO of My Farm Page, started the platform out of frustration with grocery store options. After digging into what was really in store-bought food and where it came from, he knew there had to be a better way. His answer? Build a space where local farmers could advertise directly to nearby families—and make those relationships easier to form and sustain.
“I wanted to give FFA and 4H students a platform to reach more people in their communities—because most folks still don’t know all that they offer.”
Giving the Next Generation a Head Start
A big part of why My Farm Page was created lies in supporting the future of farming. The site doesn’t just promote produce—it gives young agriculturalists a voice. Whether you’re raising meat rabbits, growing seasonal vegetables, or offering homegrown eggs, your community can find and support you.
What This Means for Local FFA & 4H Students
- A free, no-commission platform to promote goods
- Community visibility that leads to long-term customer relationships
- A chance to educate the public on how food is grown and raised
- A launchpad for building small, sustainable businesses

Healthier Choices, Stronger Communities
One of the most important reasons why My Farm Page was created is to offer fresher, healthier food to families. When you buy local, you’re not only feeding your household well—you’re also:
- Strengthening your town’s economy
- Keeping food dollars in rural areas
- Reducing transportation-related emissions
- Supporting real families, not just corporations
Farm-to-table options also provide peace of mind. You know who grew your food, how it was raised, and that it’s coming from just down the road.

No Middlemen, Just Real Connections
Unlike traditional marketplaces or co-ops, My Farm Page doesn’t take a cut of what farmers earn. There are no listing fees, commissions, or subscriptions. It’s simply a space to showcase what you grow—and let your community do the rest.
