Farmer FAQ

Any farm in Indiana that raises or makes farm products and sells them directly to customers. That includes meat, eggs, produce, honey, maple, baked goods, flowers, plants and more.

Listing is free, always. Your page, your products, posts and order requests are all free.

We built listings for Indiana farms from public information so customers could find them. If it's your farm, claim it for free and you can edit your page.

Tap “Is this your farm? Claim it free” on your page, or go to buyhoosier.com/claim. Enter your own email. If it matches the email we have, you get a code and you're in. If not, Brett confirms it with a quick call to the farm.

Apply at buyhoosier.com/apply. It takes a few minutes. Brett reviews every new farm and emails you when you're approved.

Yes. Tap “Set it up for me” and answer a few questions, and we'll write your page. You see it before anything goes live. Or tap “Ask Brett to set it up” and Brett will get in touch the way you choose.

No. Everything works from your phone.

Photos, your story, products with prices and sizes, hours, pickup spots and markets, posts, sale banners, FAQs, events and customer reviews. Sections you leave empty stay hidden, so a half-finished page still looks good.

Use Quick post on your Home screen. Tap a suggestion like “Fresh eggs today” or type your own, and it shows on your page until 11:59 tonight.

Yes. Make a post, choose “Show as a banner” and pick the last day. It goes across the top of your page and comes down by itself when it ends.

Yes. Every change you save on My Page is kept in History, your last 50, and you can go back to any earlier version with one tap.

Yes. Invite family or staff from More, then Team.

Tap “Ask Brett to change this” on Farm details and we'll take care of it.

Customers choose what they want and a pickup or delivery time from the times you set, then send you a request. You get an email, then you accept or decline it. Customers pay you directly when they pick up or you deliver, the way you already take payment.

No. You're paid directly by your customer. Buy Hoosier never touches the money.

No. It's off until you turn it on in More, then Order requests.

Tap “Decline” on a new request, or “Can't fill it” on one you accepted, and choose a reason. The customer gets a kind email and your stock goes back.

We remind you after 24 hours. After 48 hours it expires, and the customer is told to call you.

Tap “Didn't pick up.” The order closes and the stock goes back.

Yes. Set a max per order on any product, or “Limited, X left.” It shows sold out when it's gone.

Yes. Meat and poultry must be processed at a USDA or Indiana inspected facility, and you confirm that before they can be ordered. Baked goods and jams need you to confirm you follow Indiana's Home Based Vendor rules, including the label.

No. Indiana law doesn't allow raw milk to be sold for people to drink, so raw dairy can't be ordered through Buy Hoosier.

Visits to your page, taps to call you, get directions or visit your website, messages and order requests, for the last 30 days, and visits by month. Your own visits and your team's don't count.

Your phone shows on your page so customers can call. Your email isn't shown. Messages and order requests reach you by email.
