Privacy Policy

FieldToKitchen (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates fieldtokitchen.com. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information.

Information we collect

Information you provide

When you use our contact form or farm listing submission form, we collect the information you enter: your name, email address, and message content. For farm listing requests, we also collect farm name, location, website, and product details.

We use this information to respond to your inquiry or process your listing request. We do not sell this information to third parties.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our site, we may automatically collect certain technical information including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URL. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies and is used to understand how people use the site and to improve the experience.

Location information

Our farm search feature allows you to search by ZIP code or use browser-based geolocation to find farms near you. If you use the “Near me” feature, your browser will ask for permission before sharing your location. This location data is used only to calculate distances to farms and is not stored on our servers.

ZIP code searches are processed through a third-party geocoding service (zippopotam.us) to convert ZIP codes to geographic coordinates. We do not store the results of these lookups.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve FieldToKitchen, respond to inquiries and listing requests, send emails you have requested (if you subscribe to our newsletter), understand how the site is used so we can make it better, and prevent abuse or misuse of the site.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for basic site functionality, caching and performance optimization, and analytics (to understand site traffic and usage patterns).

You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling cookies may affect some site features.

Third-party services

We use third-party services to operate this site, including Rocket.net for hosting, Google Fonts for typography, and email delivery services (SMTP) for form submissions. These services may process certain technical data as part of their normal operation. We do not share your personal information with these services beyond what is necessary for the site to function.

Farm listings

Farm listings on FieldToKitchen include publicly available information about farms that sell direct to consumers, such as farm name, location, products offered, and farming practices. If you are a farm owner and would like to update or remove your listing, please contact us.

Reviews

If you leave a review on a farm listing, the content of your review and the name you provide will be publicly visible on the site. We do not verify the identity of reviewers. We reserve the right to remove reviews that are abusive, fraudulent, or otherwise violate our guidelines.

Data retention

We retain form submissions and correspondence for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry or manage your listing. You may request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us.
