Farm2Me calls themselves a "farm-to-fridge" online marketplace and we think that sums it up pretty well. The social enterprise offers a very innovative and easy service. Some people who are interested in eating local, fair trade and organic foods are often pinched for time. While you may love browsing your local food and farmers' market, sometimes you just don't have the time to make the morning out of it. And this is where Farm2Me comes in.
The company lets you browse their site and get local food from artisans and farms delivered right to your doorstep. Based in New York City where there are lots of food brands to choose from, Farm2Me is currently in beta but hopefully we'll see more soon.
