Description

As the agency reported it.

There is currently a strong need for direct producer-to-consumer marketing through online platforms. Healthy planeat is currently working with over 20 local connecticut farms and food artisans. The purpose of this project is to develop new online tools and real-world practices which can be rapidly adopted by small farms so they can effectively distribute food to local customers. During this project, healthy planeat will 1) create a locally focused shipping program where farmers can efficiently ship their food using the healthy planeat online platform, and 2) build features for the healthy planeat online platform so farms and other small businesses can host and manage local pick UPS and food aggregation opportunities featuring multiple farms and food artisans. The project goal is to have 10 farms including organic farms ship food locally and to establish 10 new healthy planeat food pick up locations. IT is expected this project will allow farmers to increase sales and reach new customers through these innovative distribution methods enabled by technological advancements. The project will be piloted and evaluated so IT can be implemented in other states beyond connecticut. This project aims to specifically benefit smaller farms, woman-owned farms, and veteran-owned farms and result in approximately $50,000 in local food sales.
