Welcome to Plain Direct! Read on for an overview of what Plain Direct is, the benefits of using it, and how to use the website to sell your products.

What is Plain Direct?

Plain Direct is an online marketplace for the Plain Community centered around buying and selling a wide range of items. Plain Direct aims to be an online marketplace for a variety of different items, including:

• Animals
• Clothing
• Home goods

From farm animals to clothing to farm equipment, Plain Direct helps you find what you need and sell what you don't.

Why Use Plain Direct?

When you purchase goods via Plain Direct, you can have confidence in knowing that everything you buy is high-quality and well taken care of. Since most products come from the Plain Community, they are typically homemade, unique, and crafted with honesty and care.

The Amish are known for their hard-working nature and honest work, which is translated into the goods that they sell. Unlike with big platforms like eBay or Craigslist, making a purchase through Plain Direct will give you peace of mind in knowing that whatever you are buying is coming from a trusted, local source.
