Connecting Farms to Consumers

We have been checking out this cool new local food movement website. Max Kane has created FarmMatch.com, a site used to connect farmers to consumers. Brought to our attention from the Food Freedom Group, you can enter your info and let the site match your farm needs to local farmers.

The site takes into account quality requirements like grass-fed or GMO-free and gets down to the nitty-gritty details of what types of products you're looking for. If you're interested in nuts, you can specify: macadamias, but not pecans.



Said Kane of his site, "We are doing what has never been done before. Everything on the internet offers food discovery and then stops. FarmMatch.com is a quad discovery system offering food, market, community, and voice discovery, all necessary to build community around food. The market discovery for farmers alone is priceless."

It also caters to restaurants. People looking to eat local can find offerings in their area. Joel Salatin praised the website, saying "A hurried, harried populace disconnected from food needs network facilitators and I haven't seen anything more comprehensive for accomplishing this than Max Kane's FarmMatch!"

Thousands of people have signed up for the website all over the world, but its looking a little sparse in our area near NH.  Try it out and let us know what you think!
