SharedHarvest Food Exchanges

What is it?

A SharedHarvest Food Exchange functions like a 24/7 online farmers market and food bank rolled into one. Plus, it's an informational resource on food-related matters, created by a community to serve that community.

The SharedHarvest Food Exchange achieves two primary goals:

  • To allow local food producers and consumers to find each other and make contact quickly and easily.
  • To serve as a single public donation point of contact for charities engaged in food rescue and distribution.

In addition to posting Available and Wanted listings for fresh & rescue food, a SharedHarvest Food Exchange has other community resources such as:

  • A News & Info section to publicize local events, meetings, highlight initiatives, or any other relevant information
  • Multiple Directories such as Directory of Farmers Markets, Berry Producers, Certified Organic Growers, etc
  • Guides (for Certified Organics, Rescue Food, etc), Events Listings, and more!

Who will use the SharedHarvest Food Exchange in your community?

  • Local growers/producers might include: Farmers, beekeepers, backyard gardeners, fruit growers, bakers, vintners
  • Local consumers might include: Individuals, local restaurants, cafeterias, and other retail food outlets, anyone wanting a direct relationship with the people producing their food
