Freshfully is a new small business that operates a website to connect local farms, markets and restaurants with customers. The goal is to encourage people to eat more local food by introducing them to producers and removing obstacles like finding, affording or cooking local food. The website lets customers read about and buy products from local vendors. Freshfully keeps a small percentage of each sale to cover transaction costs and marketing, while helping vendors gain new customers and payment through the site.

1. We want to put a
fresh face
on local food.
Yours.
Freshfully is a new small business headquartered in
Homewood, Alabama.
And here are ours.
Our goal is to encourage people to eat more local food by
introducing them to the people who grow and sell it. We
also want to remove some of the obstacles people have to
eating local food, like finding it, affording it, or knowing
how to cook it.
Our idea is an easy-to-use web site at Freshfully.com that
lets people read about and buy from local farms, markets,
and restaurants.
We are part business, and part movement. We hope that
you will join us on this journey!
