Creating demand side of the marketing equation for locally produced foods

william Melver's picture

 This locavores thing is really catching on but at the same time, most farmers don't have the luxury of time to spend hours at a Farmers market, peddling their products.  What's needed are smarter ways to connect the suppliers/producers with their customers.  Casey Hoy's ant colony study keeps coming to my mind and with all these new technologies/softwares for communicating with each other, there must be a way.  My wife and I have become connected to Tina Wagner and Brad Masi's City Fresh program this year.
