Since the lockdown began, more and more people have been making efforts to help local farmers by buying produce from them through farmers’ markets in malls or Viber groups, or through farm-to-table groups that help farmers deliver their produce to more consumers around the country.

Fortunately, there are so many more ways for people to help support our agricultural sector. Here are nine farmer-owned and farm-to-table businesses you can check out if you want to help out:
