We are going after it with the use of technology. At 47farms.com We do three steps: 1. Match buyers and sellers of local farm and food artisan products using an algorithm with a geo spatial data model. 2. We enable the end to end transaction including customer order and payments that are routed instantly and directly to the farmer. 3. We enable Agri-Businesses to improve by leveraging local market insights enabled by the data generated by the transactions. So far so good. We are growing month over month at 36% and focusing on the Princeton, Trenton, New Brunswick areas of NJ ( a mix of low income, low access as well as higher educated, and wealthier populations). Happy to get any insights or feedback.
