Love Your Larder started from the idea that farmer's markets were amazing sources of delicious food that is inaccessible to those working 9 to 5 jobs. They put their thinking caps on and they brought the farmer's market to the virtual world.
Love Your Larder is a platform for farmers to sell their crops; you can pick up everything from craft beers, rare cheeses and heritage potatoes. They are able to keep costs down by not having a central warehouse and instead having all orders sent from the producer to the consumer directly.
Love Your Larder is a magnificent idea for connecting tasty items with a hungry audience; everybody wins: the producer who sells his products and the consumer who gets great food mailed directly to his house.
