On the front-end it may seem the same, but on the back-end we are focused on delivery route optimization to shorten the supply chain and algorithms for a much more tailored shopping experience.

Thank you very much! If I make ask, What kind of acts of transparency would make customers like yourself gain just the slightest trust?

I agree with you on the socializing part. We understand that there are some human interactions and behaviors that cannot be changed or would be nearly impossible to. We don’t aim to drive people away from attending farmers markets, but more so convenience for those not able to attend or who do not have markets nearby.

I really appreciate your input!

I can’t express how much I really appreciate the feedback and your time for sharing! If I could get you a coffee, or a drink of your choice I would! Lol… thanks again!

You brought up some great points and I really appreciate your point of view! Let me ask you this: When Amazon first started there were the same concerns of not being able to feel and see the product before buying; let alone, having it the same day you need it.

I know it is different with food, but what are some things that would make you- as we would consider our hard-side - to even consider trying?

Great question. We conduct site visits and only work with farmers that have a verifiable farm. If we cannot see a specific product being grown on their land, but they are selling it, then we don't source it unless we know who grew it.
