NEW ON FOODHUB
Marketplace – What had been our “product requests” feature is now “Marketplace.” Use this section to promote products you have for sale or, conversely, products you are interested in buying. (‘Marketplace’ is accessed from the tab above or from your personal ‘Dashboard’ page.) This section works best when entries are time sensitive. For example:
- Sellers might promote a time limited special on winter squash or let buyers know that the window for locking in forward contracts ends on a certain date.
- Buyers might want to post information about product needs for an upcoming event or alert sellers to an item you consistently need but still can’t find (such as eggs in the case of Grand Central Bakery).
HotSheets – What had been “fresh sheets” specific to produce are now Hotsheets that accommodate information on all types of products for sale within FoodHub. Use this feature to let customers know what is “hot” or “special” on any given day or week. (Hot sheets are accessed from your personal ‘Dashboard’ or from the ‘My Products’ tab above.)
Delivery Range – It is no longer possible to name cities or locations in the delivery range box; you can only list delivery range information via miles from your principal location. (Delivery range information exists in the ‘Edit my Profile’ section accessed through your ‘Dashboard.’)
Welcome Idaho! – We’ve updated our list of farmers markets and distributors to include Idaho. (Information about which farmers markets and distributors you are associated with exists in the ‘Edit my Profile’ section accessed through your ‘Dashboard.’)
We’ll be making system improvements on a continual basis and will use this section of FoodHub as our principal means for letting you know what has changed. Please don’t hesitate to send us your feedback at any time. We always love to hear from our members.
