Why pre-order from somewhere besides a farm?

I am just curious why so many pre-order and order from places like northern brewer and midwest supplies. It just seems to me that it would be better in every conceivable way to order direct from a farm. Do the homebrew suppliers offer something extra that ordering direct from a farm doesn't?
 
Perhaps it is just more convienent for a Customer to one stop shop and to save on the shipping charges?

However I did order farm direct.

Just my .02
 
Maybe the farms don't want to or can't sell small amounts directly to people. Just a thought.
 
I got 2 rhyzomes from the same place (freshops.com) Northern Brewer gets them from after NB was sold out. I'll just go direct from now on.
 
I wondered why people do that as well. my 1st rhizomes i got from my lhbs. only 1 outa 5 grew. the next year i got 11 from freshops.com all 10 grew and 3yrs later still going like gangbusters.
