Farmfoody is a free service connecting farm and foody.
A farm is a farm, vineyard, pick your own, farmer's market, CSA or victory garden -- a producer on the land.
Benefits to farmers
Farmfoody is a little like the dating service "Match.com" only instead of sex and age, we match by location and tags for what you have to sell. Foodys in your local area will make friends with your Farm, and a Farm can invite local Foodys to be friends.
Once friendship is established, a Farm can post bulletins like roadside signs that go into all Foody friends email and appear on the farm profile. You can twitter about what you are doing and provide answers and directions for your farm. You can make changes easily and as much as you want. It is much easier to update than a website, and its free.
A foody is a customer who wants a relationship to a farm, vineyard, csa, any local producer of food. Keep in touch by making friends with local producers, recieving their bulletins and tweets.
It's my pleasure to let you know that Nokesville Farmers' Market now has 136 foody friends on FarmFoody.org. This is important because this is at least 100 more friends than we had before Steve Knoblock performed his internal friends request which cast a wide net for us with no effort on our part and at a modest cost. As a farmer, you know that our purest commodity is time. It was taking a goodly bit of time to send invitations to Foodys one at a time. Steve was able to invite 300 in short order. The approvals continue to come in even after several weeks.
I want to thank you first for FarmFoody.org and the important service you are providing farmers and consumers by making a way for them to connect freely, safely, and purposefully. Secondly, thank you for suggesting Steve's mass friends request service. It has made the process virtually effortless and fast. As you know, I am now sending at least one bulletin to our FarmFoody customers each week that entices to our Market. So lastly, thanks for helping to make the Nokesville Farmers' Market a continuing success!
Gratefully,Pablo Teodoro
