Home Delivery

Since 2020, Three River Farmers Alliance (3RFA) has provided year round local food home delivery to residents of the Greater NH Seacoast and MA North Shore regions.

Wholesale

Supplying our community with local food

We provide weekly delivery of locally grown products year round to restaurants, farm stands, grocers, retailers, schools, hospitals, and other institutions.

Fresh – Local – Delivered

Founded in 2014, Three River Farmers Alliance (3RFA) is a farmer-owned aggregate food hub in the Seacoast, NH region. We represent vetted, trusted, value aligned, small to midsize producers from New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts supplying locally sourced food to homes, restaurants, regional institutions and community partners.

Our Mission

Driving economic growth of regional agriculture by cultivating a prosperous company culture and building relationships between local farms, customers, and communities.

As an aggregate food hub, 3RFA works on behalf of its network of producer partners to increase the distribution of locally produced food to New England communities. Our primary purpose is to serve our local farmers and food producers. Our goal is to grow market access and build economic sustainability for our local farms. Our mission is served by cultivating a prosperous and equitable company culture.

Together, we are creating a sustainable regional food system.

Our Model

Three River Farmers Alliance facilitates the aggregation, storage and transportation of regionally produced food products on behalf of our producer partners. We actively coordinate these activities, providing wider access to institutional and retail markets for local producers while increasing access to fresh, healthy food for consumers, including underserved areas.

As an aggregate food hub, products ordered by customers are delivered to our warehouse facility to then be packed for delivery. We do not maintain a rolling inventory of local products to be pulled from. Exact counts of each locally purchased item are delivered to our warehouse by the farms and producers based upon customer orders. This ensures you receive the freshest produce directly from the source.

Out of Region Sourcing

Product variety and availability regularly shift. Seasonality, weather events, and limited output by smaller producers are examples of variables outside of 3RFA’s control. Maintaining a diverse selection of products available to our customers is dependent on consistency in product availability. As such, representation of local producers is prioritized, however it is regularly necessary to source beyond 3RFA’s local agricultural network.

Products that are not sourced locally are clearly marked as “Sourced out of region” in the storefront. The producers of these items go through the same rigorous vetting process as those within 3RFA’s local network. Guidelines are in place to ensure prioritization of our local producer partners while allowing product sourcing to go beyond our local networks.

Our Producers

Good food by good people

Our network includes vegetable growers, cheesemakers, livestock farmers, mushroom farmers, pasta makers, fermenters, bakers, chefs and many other quality local food artisans.

Happy Customers & Producers

“I honestly am not sure what kind of pivot my business would have made during COVID without your help and Home Delivery. I’ve met so many wonderful customers and local food producers during this crazy time through Three River. The support has been amazing!”

“As a small and new business, Vida Tortilla benefited from having a distributor like Three River. You guys were there from our beginning in connecting us with restaurants, markets and other farm stands outside of our domain which helped us grow faster than if we were to do it ourselves.”

“We’ve been working with Three River for several years and it’s truly been an awesome relationship. Through Three River we’ve been able to increase sales of our dairy, meat and vegetables. As a result, the scale of production on our small family farm has become more efficient and enjoyable. We are happy that our products are now available to more families in the greater seacoast area. We look forward to working with Three River this coming year and are excited about the future!”

“Three River has helped us focus on what we love to do, which is farm. Through Three River, we are able to reach new customers and expand our sales, but the friendly Three River staff takes care of all the logistics so we can focus on growing food.”

-“As the pandemic hit and the extension of Home Delivery was created it kept us alive after the loss of our farmer’s markets and restaurant clientele. It also helped get our name known in towns we were not able to reach with just the markets which was a surprisingly positive outcome of this new addition. We can’t thank you all enough for what you do for us and our community especially during these trying times.”
