From the farm to your doorstep in just a few clicks












Stockton-based Fromthefarm.com is making it easier for consumers to buy local farm goods.



The Website ships agricultural products directly from the farms to your home whether you are in Orange County or any other place in the country. Online orders go directly to the growers, who then ship that product to you.



"This is a one-stop shop platform for people that love farm products," said Dean Davis, general manager of the company. "We are trying to get the flavor back in the food we eat. It has a farmer market feel to it."



The site sells vegetables, meat, flowers, vine, dairy food, organic food and other products. All these products are said to be 100 percent quality-guaranteed and do not go bad by the time they reach your house. They do not take back the products, but depending on the circumstance, they will give you a refund, Davis said. California growers include cheese, rice and citrus farmers.





Still, delivery of the foods comes at a hefty price. Michigan red or McIntosh apples (20 count) cost $28.95 a box. General shipping charges are around $8.99 or less, depending on the food item. Most deliveries take couple days, but some products like flowers are sent overnight.
