What FarmGateRun Does
An overview of FarmGateRun, its account types and optional features.
FarmGateRun helps people discover Australian farm gates, roadside stalls, producers, markets, cafés, food trucks, wineries, accommodation and regional destinations. A visitor can collect approved listings into a private route and open that route in Google Maps.
FarmGateRun is a directory and planning service. It does not normally sell produce, take customer payments, confirm accommodation or event bookings, guarantee availability, or certify food safety.
Main account types#
- Visitor: searches, views listings and builds a temporary route without logging in.
- Traveller: saves routes and favourites, records visits, contributes places and follows Produce Alerts.
- Business Account: creates or claims listings and manages business content and tools.
- Administrator: moderates the entire service and manages configuration, reporting and operations.
Features that may be optional#

- Traveller Rewards

- Category promotions
- Enhanced Google Maps previews, geocoding or route optimisation
- Some QR download formats and media types
