Using newly developed Open Food Network software we will create a business model for a local organic food distribution enterprise linking other local producers with consumers in local towns and villages. Based on the model pioneered by Stroudco and the Dean Forest Food Hub we provide a web platform for an online farmers market with local pick up points for customers to collect their weekly order of local produce. We will charge a mark up just 15% keeping costs low through our online ordering system.

We intend to establish this model of enterprise as a multi-stakeholder co-operative balancing the interests of the workers, producers and consumers and encouraging greater co-operation and participation in the local food system.
