VentureBeat: DEMO: Buy local produce, meat and dairy with Local Dirt

James · 3 months ago

Agree on the Achilles heel. Cost/convenience still rules decisions on the next step for a local food pursuer. Steep price for farms too. Potentially dealing with numerous inquiries to get one good customer.

There is a market for a hub like this, but it has to bring more value to compete with current farm market listings, farm direct associations, etc., etc.
