Coordinate local deliveries and pickups with the built-in pickup alert tool. Users can arrange community pickup points or drop-off events, helping reduce costs and strengthen local relationships between producers and consumers. The system automatically alerts farmers when pickup orders are made, keeping everyone organized and on schedule.
Create or join local groups that focus on trading, education, or organizing food-based initiatives. Businesses can post local announcements visible within a 50-mile radius, share to social media directly from the platform, and reach their community without additional advertising tools.
The app integrates with Google Maps, allowing users to search by area and discover producers, homesteads, and food-related efforts locally or nationwide. Each business appears as a map listing, making it simple to locate nearby farms, shops, or educational resources.
Every user begins with a consumer profile. If you run a farm, business, or educational initiative, you can easily add your organization for review and inclusion on the map. Profiles are user-managed and verified by the platform to ensure they align with the mission of supporting local food systems.
Simplify outreach by posting once and sharing everywhere. Businesses can automatically share announcements or updates to connected social platforms, helping spread awareness of local products and events while staying engaged with the community.
