About FarmFoody.org
Farm Foody is a social network connecting people to the sustainable family farm.
Our ideas and mission
We believe social networking can bring independent farms and people together to restore balance in our agricultural system. In the past, farmers and their customers were centered around small towns where they interacted directly with each other in a transparent and sustainable way. We see social networking as a new way of interacting with independent farmers and supporting sustainable agriculture. We believe social networking can help the small farm survive and thrive in a big agriculture world.
Read our brochure Farm Foody: A Social Network Connecting Independent Farms to People to understand why we believe social networking is beneficial to the family farm and society.
