St. Louis-based Find Your Farmer (FYF), a pioneering online farmers’ market, is proud to announce its acquisition by Indianapolis-based Market Wagon, a leader in connecting consumers with local farms and artisans.

Find Your Farmer was started by five Washington University graduates in 2020 when the pandemic disrupted local farmers’ most robust revenue streams: farmers market and restaurant sales. “That’s when we stepped in,” says Find Your Farmer CEO Noah Offenkrantz. “We were intent on ensuring that farms and artisans stayed afloat during that tumultuous time.” Over the past three years, Find Your Farmer grew to partner with over 50 local farms, artisans, and
distributors, delivering 200,000+ pounds of local groceries to more than 1,000 households in the STL region.

The acquisition by Market Wagon, a company with a similar focus that started in Indianapolis and now operates 18 different local-food hubs across the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast U.S, marks a new chapter for FYF. “By combining Find Your Farmer’s deep community roots with Market Wagon’s expertise and technology, we take a significant step towards building a stronger, more resilient local economy in St. Louis,” says Offenkrantz. Together, the combined operations are poised to make locally-sourced food a more convenient and accessible option for all STL residents.

“The future of local food in St. Louis is bright,” says Market Wagon Co-Founder and CEO Dan Brunner. “Together with Find Your Famer, we will continue to innovate and grow, ensuring that the people of STL have the best of what local farms and artisans have to offer.”

Market Wagon’s vendor list includes artisans such as Blueprint Coffee, Katie’s Pizza and Pasta, and Field to Fire STL as well as farmers such Abundant Pastures, Misfit Farms, Ozark Forest Mushrooms, Eckert’s Family Farms, and Sugar Creek Piedmontese. The order deadline is Sunday night at midnight for weekly home delivery on Tuesdays.
