What is Harvest To Order?
What is Harvest To Order? Harvest To Order aims to be an open ecosystem founded on open source software and values. The system has been built to facilitate procurement of produce from local harvesters and food cooperatives.
Who Is It For?
Harvest To Order is aimed at consumer groups, like buying groups, food Co-ops, and similar enterprises, all around the United States. Our platform provides a unified management platform for all of your orders.
Project Idea
The idea for Harvest To Order started in the summer of 2016 and has been built upon the Open Food Network Platform. We want to make it easier for everyone to source healthy locally produce.
Food Harvesters (Farmers, Local Gardeners, Fishermen, etc.)
Using our platform, you can sell your harvest and tell your story to a constantly growing customer base. Our system has been designed to save you time and money by selling your harvest to local customers.
Food Hubs (Hubs, Co-ops, Buyer Groups, Wholesalers, Retailers, etc.)
Our platform aims to make it simple for organizations to build an online store allowing you to manage and aggregate reputable local harvesters’ produce to local customers.
Food System Networks (Associations, Logistics, Farmers' Markets)
Sourcing local food can be difficult, and for most everyday people, it can be unrealistic. Harvest to Order is a system of collaboration and trust for your local community. So you can stop shopping at big box stores and connect directory to local customers, farmers, fishermen, co-ops, food hubs, etc.
