Farmer's markets bring together producers who sell fresh, seasonal products directly to consumers. Although they are often held only on specific days, they remain an important part of short supply chains and offer a wide variety of regional food.

Farm shops are small stores located on or near farms where producers sell their own products directly. They often offer vegetables, eggs, dairy, cheese, fruit, and other seasonal products, sometimes combined with specialties from nearby farms.

Self-harvest gardens are places where visitors can pick fruit, vegetables, or flowers themselves. Some locations provide guidance on-site, while others operate through simple self-service systems with payment by cash or QR code.

Food forests are green spaces designed to mimic natural ecosystems, where edible plants, fruit trees, nuts, herbs, and berries grow together in layers. They promote biodiversity, require little external input, and offer a long-term sustainable way of producing food close to home.

Vending machines in many countries now offer eggs, milk, cheese, seasonal vegetables, fruit, and more 24/7. Some are small, others are large, and sometimes they are very modern vending machines with touchscreens.

Temporary farm shops are stalls and small stands along the road selling produce. These come from small-scale farms or from people selling their own garden produce or eggs from their own chickens. These stalls often operate on the basis of a donation box and are convenient for spontaneous purchases on the go.
