Our Story
Connecting Buyers and Farmers for a Better Food System
We focus on building a transparent, ethical food system that empowers farming communities and offers consumers high-quality, traceable products. At Twin Farms™, every purchase supports sustainability and strengthens the relationship between farmers and consumers, fostering a food system rooted in trust and shared value.
Pablo and Santiago, co-founders of Twin Farms™, are on a global mission to help conscious buyers connect directly with fair-trade farmers around the world. Through building a better and cleaner food system where all food reaches its most effective use, both parties gain a unique and trustworthy experience, providing maximum satisfaction with guaranteed traceability and credibility.
Coming from different backgrounds, from agriculture to technology, what initially brought them together was a profound desire to help local farmers and agricultural communities by connecting them with potential buyers so they could not only provide them with top quality produce but also the uniquely special feeling of connecting directly with the roots.
After enjoying some fresh dragon fruit on the Ecuadorean Amazon, Pablo and Santiago started talking about building a bridge that connects farmers to customers in a system that creates shared value for anyone who cares about shopping ethically. They wanted to make it easier for people to choose products that align with their values and help them make a positive change, for themselves and others, every single day, which lead them to start the journey of building Twins Farm™.

Supporting Farmers Communities
To compete in today’s market, the current system has driven down prices at the expense of those most vulnerable: farmers and workers. Finding your “Produce Twin” means taking a stand in support of a system that treats everyone with respect.
For every product going through our app, the farmer earns an additional amount of money that goes into a common fund, which will be used to empower & elevate their agricultural communities. Those funds can be used to improve their quality of life, or to support a local social organization, meeting their socio-economic and environmental needs.
When our customers buy a product from the Twins Farm app, they can be sure it was made following the most rigorous standards. We specialize in working closely with fair-trade producers, and we certify transactions between them and our conscious customers.

What is Twin Farms?Twin Farms is an online marketplace for agricultural products that connects growers from Latin America with buyers in the United States and Canada. Our goal is to increase the returns to producers in developing countries and to improve the quality of life of agricultural communities there by creating a more efficient, equitable, and sustainable commercial process. We pride ourselves on being a customer-friendly platform that is committed to creating a transparent and ethical supply chain.
-
How does it work?Growers and Buyers create a profile and their businesses are verified by Twin Farms. Growers can then post their produce inventory and pricing for purchase on our marketplace. Buyers can search for available products and place an order directly from a specific producer. Twin Farms will confirm the order, coordinate logistics and paperwork for the order, and process the final payment. With transparent pricing and traceability, Twin Farms is building trust in the international produce supply chain.
-
How do you ensure the quality of your produce?Twin Farms is committed to creating the best buying/sales experience for both our buyers and growers. Our growers are carefully selected based on their ability to meet our strict quality standards. We coordinate quality control and monitoring throughout the supply chain to ensure that our customers receive the best possible product. If there are any quality issues, please contact us at info@twinfarms.market and we will resolve it promptly.

By eliminating multiple middlemen, you can trust that you are receiving a fair price and that only a minimal amount of value is going to intermediaries. Our buyers will get high-quality produce and will also be supporting more ethical, equitable, and sustainable farming practices. As part of our social mission, Twin Farms donates a portion of proceeds to support development initiatives in local agricultural communities.
-
Can I contact the Grower/Buyer directly outside of Twin Farms' marketplace?Twin Farms is creating a more transparent, efficient, and safe marketplace that is built on trust. We believe that this will create many long-term benefits for our customers and lower the high transaction costs associated with international trade. For this reason, we ask our users to be active participants in the Twin Farms marketplace. If a user does not follow the company's Terms of Use, we cannot guaranteed transparency, security, or trust, and they may be banned from using the platform.
-
What happens after an order is placed?Twin Farms will confirm all orders between both parties and verify all necessary documentation. We will then coordinate with grower, buyer, and third-party logistic providers to ensure the shipment goes smoothly.

How are prices set?As a transparent marketplace that directly connects growers and buyers, Twin Farms empowers growers to set a fair price for their produce. We provide market insights to assist growers with their selling decisions.
-
What does this cost? Is there a commission or fee?Our platform is free to sign up and use. To cover the cost of facilitating sales and to invest in further platform development, Twin Farms charges a modest fee (~10%) on all transactions made through the marketplace, which is a significant reduction on traditional intermediary costs. Furthermore, we make all prices and costs transparent to our customers to build trust.
-
What is Twin Farms' social mission? How are you helping agricultural communities?Farming communities, especially in developing countries, struggle with higher rates of poverty and lower rates of investment despite their production of humanity's most critical resource: food. Twin Farms believes that this needs to change. We are investing in agricultural communities by donating a portion of proceeds (~1% of all transactions) to the promotion of health, education, and economic development in the areas where our growers operate.

Supporting Sustainable
Farming
At Twin Farms™ we pay special attention to ecology and sustainability. We work with certified farmers that carry out regenerative cultivation processes, which aim to produce the healthiest fruits and vegetables that nature can grow. We are committed to the promotion of practices that preserve our environment through proactive action, which is why we work exclusively with verified farms.
One of our most important pillars is working with "up-cycled food" in order to reduce food waste around the world, and in turn, help the environment. We focus on reaching high-quality products from otherwise wasted (but perfectly nutritious) food. Reducing food waste is the third most effective solution to climate change.
