Abstract

We seek to make local and sustainably produced food available and easy to buy by linking consumers with local producers of meat, vegetables, fruit, and much more. Our dynamic website will enable buyers to purchase fresh and healthy food directly from the manufacturers of these products, contributing to local economy. We are advantageously positioned to help farmers avoid the middlemen, the wholesalers, the big box stores and allow them to meaningfully connect with their consumers.
