farm gate

Pasture access point

Farm gate refers to the point where agricultural products leave the farm, used especially in pricing and economics.

A farm-gate price is what farmers receive before transport, processing, or retail markup: Farm-gate milk prices dropped again this quarter.

The term emphasizes the boundary between production and distribution—what something costs at the source.
