Thanks to FoodHub, food buyers can walk to their computers, type in the word “raspberry” and quickly access a list of regional raspberry producers. They can sort their search results by specific attributes, check out various raspberry producer profiles, send one a message through FoodHub’s message center, and arrange for delivery – either direct or through a mainline distributor. Never before have Northwest raspberry producers been so highly visible to the region’s food buyers. And never before have food buyers had it so easy.
