Company Summary

The local food economy is one of the last markets to cross the digital divide. Consumers are still buying local food in the same manner they did pre-internet; through ad hoc farmer’s markets and dozens of other channels. While local food is an market in ever-increasing demand, unlike traditional large markets, its commerce lacks any consistency for buyer and seller alike. CitySprout is providing a standardization for the local food market.
