New online farmers market opens in Kitchener and Guelph area

Those who appreciate local fresh produce and wish to support their local food producers are being invited to visit a new website dedicated to supplying the people of Guelph and Kitchener.

This virtual farmers’ market, which has been dubbed The Sustainable Market, has been designed to make it quick and easy for farmers and customers to connect at their own convenience. Users can go on the site, browse the vegetables, fruit, meats and other items for sale, and then have two days to decide what they would like to purchase.

To use the service, customers sign up each week and then they can see what is available, which will likely change based upon what is in season. After they have placed their order, the food is brought to the Kortright Presbyterian Church each Friday where it can be picked up. Printing companies in Guelph can create Packaging, labels, Business Cards and other printed items that the growers can use when they sell their products to the public. They can also make promotional materials that help to advertise this new service.

According to the site’s creators and developers, many of the producers who will use The Sustainable Market to sell their products won’t take their items to larger farmers’ markets. This way, it is reported, they can spend more time producing food for customers.
