Committing to buying locally sourced produce that supports farmers in the area can be a challenge for consumers in the city who are disconnected from where their food comes from, but ClickToHarvest.com is an online farmers' market that is out to change this.
ClickToHarvest.com recently launched its organic grocery delivery service in Boston, Massachusetts, making it easy for consumers to receive everything from locally sourced dairy and meats to specialty foods—all of which are sourced within 80 miles of customers' homes.
The farm-to-table food and grocery delivery service supports local farmers and artisans by selling a range of goods, such as meat sets, bread baskets, coffee and baked goods. The online farmers' market also gives consumers the option to choose 'Farmer's Boxes,' which lets farmers hand-pick bundles of healthy, fresh produce that's harvested daily.
