The demand for healthier foods, produced locally, with characteristics of local culture, which guarantee social justice, has popularized the Short Food Chains. These networks have proven to be a reliable substitute for conventional supply chains. In addition, it enables the socioeconomic empowerment of the family farmer, ensuring more stable revenues. The present study aimed to analyze the development of a short chain through a local distribution network of organic baskets, a family farm property. The results showed a growth of more than 400% in production and an increase of 1,500% in the sales price of the baskets in the period 2016/2019, from the development and consolidation of the short chain, here called "Agroecological Family Short Chain".
