Community Guidelines

Last updated August 8, 2026

FarmTableDirect is a community built on trust, transparency, and direct relationships between local farmers, ranchers, and families. These Community Guidelines set expectations for everyone who uses the Platform. By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to follow these Guidelines.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account on the Platform.

2. Be Honest and Accurate

• Provide truthful information in your account, farm profile, product listings, and communications.
• Farmers and ranchers must accurately describe their practices, products, location, and availability, including claims such as grass-fed, pasture-raised, non-GMO, and similar.
• Do not misrepresent who you are, what you sell, or the condition or origin of any product.

3. Respect Other Users

• Treat all users with courtesy and professionalism.
• Harassment, bullying, threats, personal attacks, discrimination, or any form of abusive behavior is prohibited.
• Do not post or send content that is lewd, pornographic, excessively vulgar, or otherwise inappropriate for a family-friendly platform.
• Only use another user's contact information for the purpose you received it, farm orders and related questions, not unsolicited marketing or unrelated outreach.

4. Keep Transactions Off-Platform

• All sales, payments, delivery, pickup, and order arrangements occur directly between the farmer or rancher and the buyer.
• Payments cannot be processed on the Platform. Transactions are between you and your farmer, your reputation is the only currency here, so be mindful.

5. No Illegal or Prohibited Activity

• Do not use the Platform to sell illegal products, engage in fraud, or conduct any unlawful activity.
• Do not post content that promotes illegal activity.

6. Protect the Community Experience

• Do not spam, flood messages, scrape data, or interfere with the normal operation of the Platform.
• Do not create multiple accounts to evade restrictions or manipulate reviews, follows, or visibility.
• Do not post false or misleading reviews, once reviews are available on the Platform.

7. Farm Profiles and Content

• Farmers retain ownership of their photos, stories, and descriptions, but must ensure all content is appropriate and does not infringe on others' rights.
• Only post content you have the right to share.
• The Platform is intended for almost anything that can be produced at the farm, ranch, or homestead, including cottage businesses.
• Barter and trade are also acceptable, be clear in your descriptions and intentions of how you want such trade to work.
• You may sell livestock, excess garden produce, trees, plants, and baked goods, etc.
• Sellers are responsible for knowing and following any applicable state or local regulations for what they sell, including cottage food rules for homemade food products.

8. Safety and Responsibility

• Users interact and transact at their own risk. Perform your own due diligence before purchasing or visiting a farm. We are all adults, let's act like it, and take responsibility for our own actions rather than expecting others to, or blaming others for our choices.
• The Company is not responsible for the quality, safety, or legality of products, that is your responsibility to verify, nor for any disputes, injuries, or losses arising from interactions between users.

9. Enforcement

Violations of these Guidelines, or the Terms of Service, may result in content removal, account suspension, or permanent termination at the Company's sole discretion. Serious or repeated violations may also be reported to appropriate authorities when required by law.

10. Dispute Resolution

You must make every effort to resolve any disputes between yourselves before escalating to us or to authorities. We are not adult babysitters, and expect users to work out disagreements among themselves whenever possible.
