FarmFlow DE
The FarmFlow DE Pilot Is Here
Connecting Delaware’s surplus harvests with businesses that can put them to use.
Good food deserves a home. FarmFlow DE helps Delaware farms connect with restaurants, bakeries, food producers, processors, and other businesses looking for local ingredients.
Have surplus, seconds, or extra farm inventory? Looking for ingredients for your kitchen or business? We’d love to have you help test what’s possible.

From Our Kitchen to a Bigger Idea
We’re Raelynn and Michele, the mother-daughter team behind G’s DElights.
Through our work preserving local surplus, we’ve seen the care that goes into every harvest—and the challenge of finding a home for extra food while it still holds value.
We’ve also learned that we can’t take it all.
FarmFlow DE grew from those conversations and a simple question: How can we help more farms and businesses find each other?
After years of conversations, planning, and building, we’re inviting our community to help bring that idea to life.
Who Is FarmFlow DE For?
Delaware farms and agricultural producers
List available surplus, seconds, and extra inventory, and connect with business buyers who can use it.
Restaurants, bakeries, chefs, processors, and food businesses
Discover available local ingredients, build farm relationships, and purchase products for your business.
This pilot focuses on connections between farms and business buyers.
A Pilot with a Purpose
FarmFlow DE is launching as a proof of concept. We’re testing a working marketplace to understand whether it creates practical, lasting value for Delaware’s food community.
Beginning October 1, 2026, our planned three-month pilot will explore:
-
Whether farms can find buyers for their surplus and generate additional income.
-
Whether businesses can find ingredients that meet their needs.
-
How much agricultural inventory moves through the platform.
-
Whether participants return to list or purchase again.
-
What needs to improve to make the platform useful and sustainable.
We’ll learn through real listings, completed transactions, participant surveys, and direct conversations with farms and buyers.
Your participation and honest feedback will help shape what comes next.
How to Participate
1. Register
Visit FarmFlowDE.com and create an account. Accounts are reviewed before approval.
2. List or browse
Once approved, farms can publish available inventory, and business buyers can browse listings.
3. Purchase and coordinate pickup
Buyers can purchase through the platform and coordinate pickup with the farm using the listing’s arrangements.
4. Tell us about your experience
Share what worked, what was confusing, and what would make FarmFlow more useful to your farm or business.
Pilot transaction fee: A 6% buyer fee applies to purchases through the platform.
A Thank-You to Our First Participants
We’re setting aside $500 in local-business gift cards to thank the people who help get FarmFlow flowing.
-
First 10 approved farms: Receive a $25 local-business gift card after publishing your first qualifying surplus listing.
-
First 10 approved buying businesses: Receive a $25 local-business gift card after completing your first qualifying purchase through the platform.
To qualify, register, receive approval, and complete the required activity by October 31, 2026.
A qualifying farm listing must offer real available surplus and include a photo, quantity, price, and pickup details. Buyer rewards are issued after a completed, non-refunded purchase.
Rewards go to the first 10 qualifying organizations in each group, based on when they complete the required activity. One gift card per organization across the offer. We’ll confirm eligibility and arrange delivery directly.
Where We Hope to Go
Our vision is a lasting resource that helps Delaware farms earn more from what they grow, helps businesses access local ingredients, and keeps more good food in use.
If the pilot demonstrates demand and value, we plan to use what we learn to pursue additional funding, improve the platform, and grow participation.
We also hope to explore pathways for connecting surplus food with nonprofit organizations. Those connections are part of our future vision, and the pilot will help us understand how to build them responsibly and effectively.
