A USDA report published in 2021 says that sales of local edible farm products grew 35% from 2015 to 2017. This growth is thanks to increased sales through retailers, institutions, and wholesalers.
Wholesale or business-to-business (B2B) selling is when a business (farm in this case) sells their products to another wholesale buyer or business (e.g., restaurant, grocery store, meat box service).
