Game Changers: AgLocal Helps Farmers Connect with Top Chefs

AgLocal makes it easier for farmers across the country to sell meat to restaurants in New York City. AgLocal screens farmers for quality and humane/sustainable practices and invites the best of the best to post available meat on the company’s Web portal. Chefs review the information from the farmers, purchase meat, and AgLocal coordinates delivery. "AgLocal is building a multi-sided e-commerce platform that works on the inter-dependencies between family farms, distributor purveyors and restaurants to create a seamless and more efficient market," Jones says. The website also simplifies the ordering, invoicing and reordering process for both the farmers and the chefs.
