We know how important it is to make the website user friendly. Cumbersome check out and navigation are two of the main things we want to avoid. We are analysing the use of a platform called CS Cart Multivendor to help us overcome these challenges.

Here is a mock up of the website showing food that has been listed and the product page where you can read about the producer, decide how much you want to buy and potentially read reviews.


This is a mock up of the back end of the website where producers will log in and be able to add their produce, post when it can be delivered and of course, name their price. It is a user friendly system and the Fork to Fork team will provide technical assistance for people who are new to this kind of software. The best part of the system is that it will auto generate your invoices and send them to your customers and you can log in from anywhere that has internet.

Fork to Fork is an online farmers market. It will give the food growers the ability to post what they have for sale and provide them with an instant online presence where customers can read about where they are, who they are and why they grow food.

Buying this food will be easy. Add garlic from Tonys', tomatoes from Lindas', cheese from Nicks' and pay all at once. Your food will arrive according to the delivery date and you will know exactly who and where it came from.

The food grower will receive your payment minus 10% which covers the service by Fork to Fork.

Delivery will be flexible for the food grower, maybe they can deliver their own or prefer to use a private service and in other cases Fork to Fork delivery will be facilitated by everyday people who are coming and going to and from growing regions within Tasmania and who will be paid to pick up and drop off produce.

This project will benefit food growers, restaurant owners, cafe owners, chefs, small grocery store owners, food box organisers, small businesses and anyone who eats great tasting, local, fresh food purchased from these businesses. It also benefits people who are already driving in to town and wants to get paid for delivery! Our long term vision is to be able to deliver to households however we need to get delivery logistics in place and ironed out first.

Yesterday we thought we had reached our goal but since payments have been processed we are coming up short of about $4000. An email has been sent to supporters with the opportunity to fix any credit card errors. In the mean time, pledges are still open and we have a plan for any amount past $27,500.

When you create a campaign on Pozible you set the goal as the absolute minimum you would need to get the project running. You can crowdfund more later and so, we had left out a few things which we could really use and will use any further pledges for them: 

Van service, insurance, petrol and fix the Oxygen Sensor $2000
Community Driver System Development including payment and SMS integration to the website so that our drivers can be notified of deliveries in their area and get paid (something like a mix of Uber and Airtasker) $5,500
