LocalDirt.com - Selling & Buying Local Food

Local Dirt is a new resource that brings to mind the old expression “never underestimate the value of local knowledge”. You see, the site stands as a spot through which those who sell local food can be reached by the relevant customers, and transactions be carried to completion.

As you can imagine, the provided search functionality is powered by a Google Map that empowers you (the buyer) to specify the product you are after as well as the actual distance that you would deem as local from a point you also provide.

On the other hand, sellers can create an account easily in order to become findable and sell wholesale. Accounts for sellers and buyers come at prices which are detailed on the site, and both small farms and individual buyers can sign up for free accounts. Moreover, farmers’ market managers can join for free. Farm cooperatives and managers of buying clubs have to go for a paid account.

When it comes to buyers that go for a paid plan, they have the ability to search for wholesale buyers as well as carry expansive research when it comes to local food prices, comparing the different retailers easily and seeing where it’s at.

“Everyone's place to buy, sell, and find local food.”

It makes for buying what you need in the most versatile context of all.

Can those who sign up for free accounts look up deals straightaway, or is that functionality privative to the ones who go for a paid account?
