Farm Fare Connects the Dots
Sourcing locally can be challenging for high-volume
buyers. Enter Farm Fare, an e-commerce platform that
connects region-wide food hubs, food producers, and
food buyers with an area's local food products via a
one-stop shopping experience and delivery service.
"By providing access to the region's inventory, food
establishments have greater confidence in consistent
fulfillment of orders, a hardship food establishments
typically note when trying to source locally," notes
Cullen Naumoff, co-founder of Ohio-based Farm Fare.
"What's more, when regional family farmers work
together to support wholesale market channels, they're
able to more effectively plan what to plant each year
based on regional demand and supply."
Farm Fare is currently developing the second version
of its platform in hopes of "supporting our partners and
core software customers, food hubs, in other regions of
the country." She adds, "We know that when regional
food assets work together, they achieve competitive
efficiencies without having to compromise their ethics
and get 'big' to survive."
