With the promise of in-person markets being open in Summer of 2020, many producers did not have website set up. Even fewer had an online store.

With assistance from the University of Kentucky Center for Crop Diversification, Emily Spencer assisted several producers in getting their online stores up and running in order to keep their business open during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, Brett Wolff created various online videos and print resources, detailing the basics of getting started with an online store and website.
