The Farm Stand Project is a dual-purpose initiative that empowers honour-system farm stands with a simple mobile payment tool, while using the visual symbol of the farm stand to connect Islanders with the values, complexity, and abundance of local agriculture. From markets to roadsides to urban pop-ups, the stand helps tell the story of how food moves from Island hands to Island homes.
Empower local farm stands to thrive
We provide honour-system farm stands across Prince Edward Island with access to a simple, mobile payment tool that makes buying local easier—for both customers and producers. With QR code-based technology, operators can accept payments seamlessly, reduce reliance on cash, and build trust with every transaction.
Connect Islanders to the heart of their food system
Beyond payment tech, the Farm Stand itself has become a symbol—one we bring into urban spaces, events, and markets across the Island. It serves as a bridge between food and the bigger picture: the labour, sustainability, and care that drive Island agriculture. It’s a conversation starter and a call to value what’s grown here, by Island hands, for Island homes.
It’s easier than ever to sell local produce on PEI
With a Farm Stand account, stand operators can accept payment from credit cards. Customers scan a QR code, input the amount owed, and pay the farmer directly. New for 2024: All fees are incorporated into the total, and paid by the customer. Signing up your stand is easy, and the Farm & Food Care team is ready to assist you throughout the set-up process. We can have your unique signs to you in a matter of days.
