farm-to-market

Grower-to-consumer supply

Farm-to-market describes roads, routes, or infrastructure connecting agricultural areas to commercial centers where goods are sold.

The term appears in official road designations, especially in Texas: Take Farm-to-Market 620 to the highway.

The concept emphasizes the practical logistics of moving agricultural products from field to consumer.
