The Cedar Rapids Roots
This isn't a faceless Silicon Valley app.
It's built by someone who understands
local soil and local people.
Designed and engineered in Cedar Rapids by a local software engineer with a background in safety-critical systems. This platform is built with the same precision discipline applied to mission-critical aerospace software — not venture-backed guesswork.

The goal is simple: solve the Last Mile logistics problem for Iowa producers. Every order fulfilled means more profit stays in the farmer's pocket — and more food on your table that hasn't spent a week inside a distribution center.
Keeping Linn County farms viable.
We believe data integrity and privacy aren't features — they're foundations. FMP is built on privacy-first principles: your data is used to route your food, not to build an ad profile. No tracking. No surveillance. Just logistics.
Privacy-first infrastructure.

The Logistics Engine
No app. No laptop in the field. Farmers text their current inventory directly to the FMP Engine — '20 lbs tomatoes, 4 dozen eggs' — and it's live immediately.
The moment inventory lands, neighbors in Linn County can browse the freshest local products and order directly from their phones. No middleman. No guessing season.
Our routing engine bundles orders and calculates the shortest path from farm gate to front door — maximizing freshness and minimizing carbon miles on every run.
No app. No laptop. Just a text message — and your inventory is live.
Roadmap to Launch
The marketplace is being opened in deliberate stages. Joining now puts you close to the first delivery runs instead of leaving you wondering what comes next.
We are currently onboarding Linn County farmers to the SMS Engine so inventory can move from field notes to live listings without an app.
Waitlist members get first access to the initial Cedar Rapids delivery run, with limited neighborhoods opening as producer inventory comes online.
Automated logistics go live for the full corridor, bundling orders and routes from local farm gates to local front doors.

Built in the Corridor
Florida to Iowa
Built locally in Cedar Rapids for the farmers, families, and neighborhoods that make the corridor feel like home.
I moved from Florida to Iowa and quickly noticed something that felt solvable: incredible local food was being grown nearby, but the path from small producers to everyday kitchens was still harder than it needed to be.
Farmers Marketplace is my answer to that gap. I am building the software, SMS tools, and routing engine myself so local producers can sell without fighting complicated technology, and Cedar Rapids families can get fresher food with less friction.
This is not meant to be a faceless delivery app. It is a practical local system, built in the corridor, shaped by the people who will actually use it.
