If you thought all the action was on the basketball court this month, you forgot to tune into the FoodHub Marketplace. Like a Craig’s List for regional food, this live feed of products—either those available for sale or wanted for purchase—is constantly changing. And, good news, those posts are resulting in connections and sales.
Consider this post from Grand Central Bakery: “We are in search of local rhubarb for pie season. We prefer once a week deliveries to our North Portland Bakery. We need 250-350 pounds per week while in season (April – July).”
FoodHub member Big B Farms responded to the post, struck a deal, and is now set to deliver rhubarb. “It was like magic,” said Grand Central Bakery’s Laura Ohm.
Help us keep making magic.
