Creating Markets

Farmers can grow great produce and consumers can want to eat it, but if transportation and retail access are not available the connections get lost.  Today most food we eat travels an average of 1500 miles from farm to plant.  That's too far when we live in a place that can grow nearly anything!

 

We are researching impactful ways to create markets so farmers want to grow more food for local consumers.  We are researching solutions for:

• local food retail space

• online local food market place with local pick up

• food hub to assist with transportation, consolidation and value added prep work

• develop institutional buyers

​

Supply and demand are complicated issues to solve especially when you add in government subsidies and long standing ideas about what and how to grow food.  New markets also take a fair amount of infrastructure and coordination.  Stay tuned for updates as we work to provide solutions that give consumers fresh, local nutrient dense foods and allow farmers to grow it at a price they can live on.
