Hack your food system. Fwd: goMarket presentation tomorrow night at Recyclique!

[Eric Bowen]

Hey Food Councillors,

Thousands of farmers are turned away every year from farmers' markets across North Carolina. At the same time probably a million people would like healthier, more sustainable local food, but can't overcome the activation energy required for a special trip to the farmers market.

A solution:
goMarket lets farmers list their products online and customers shop from home. If you're thinking about buying or selling through goMarket, please come out and learn more about the system and why I think we need to "hack our food system."

In solidarity,
-Eric Bowen

How's this?

goMarket
goMarketNC is a new farmers' market based out of the Durham Locopops that uses online sales to simplify the lives of producers and consumers. Unlike traditional farmers' markets, goMarket can expand quickly and compete with the convenience and diversity of grocery stores. To learn more about goMarket, Google "goMarketNC."
