Choose produce and send your order to the farmer. You are not charged yet.
-
The farmer accepts
The farmer confirms they can supply it. If they decline, the order closes and you pay nothing.
-
Pay securely
Pay online through Paystack in The Farmer app. Your card details go to Paystack and are never stored by us.
-
Delivery or collection
Arrange delivery or collection with the farmer in the chat.
