Re-linking the Food Chain

Local Orbit is a new way to buy food and other local goods direct from producers in your community. Our marketplaces offer a diverse selection of local produce, meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, baked goods, grains, prepared foods, personal care products and specialty items.

Whether you're a busy chef sourcing for your restaurant or a busy parent purchasing groceries for your family, you can buy from multiple sellers in a single shopping cart, with one payment. It's that easy.

Farmers manage both wholesale and retail sales through a simple business dashboard. They can sell their products in multiple markets from a central account.

Consumers pick up their orders from a central location, or hub. Wholesale orders are delivered to the business.

Hubs are run by farmers markets, entrepreneurs, farmers co-ops, community organizations, institutions and businesses who are working to expand access to local food in their communities. They manage each local marketplace, approve sellers, and work with Local Orbit's marketing tools to promote sales.

Everyone gets support from Local Orbit's friendly and accessible customer service team.

How We've Built Our Service

Local Orbit has evolved through two years of conversations with farmers, food producers, chefs, eaters and people working to solve food distribution challenges. We've heard countless stories about disconnected markets and inefficient communications.

• People are hungry for food that's produced by people they know and trust.
• They want to spend a larger share of their food dollars in their own communities.

Independent food producers are struggling to build sustainable businesses and provide really good food for their customers. They need distribution and marketing support.

Local Orbit provides a suite of customizable online services to connect buyers and sellers and help regional food systems work better.

We are working to make local, sustainably produced food widely available and easy to buy - for everyone.
