Issues of Focus

MOVE's primary focus is to help facilitate sales of locally grown produce through internet services. Any local farmer can easily reach out to the community by clicking the link to the sell page and registering themselves as a seller. MOVE also facilitates the selling of inventory from local farmers to your dinner table. It's as easy as registering yourself as a buyer and just like that you've made an impact on the community and reduced your carbon footprint on the beloved planet. Consumers benefit from cost-effective farm fresh, healthy, locally grown food available on a weekly basis.

MOVE's Reasons to Help the Nation Begin a Trend of Buying Locally

  1. Promotes the local economy and supports friends and neighbors.
  2. Reduces use of fossil fuels (wasted on transporting of goods over the country when you could receive them within 100-miles easily).
  3. Promotes value of farmland and open space over urban sprawl.
  4. Helping promote your local farmers who not only work hard everyday just for the purpose of crop but also strive to grow taste, diversity, and nutritional value instead of durability or uniformity.
  5. Supporting local business also preserves open space, job security and healthy foods for the community.
  6. Networking among the community with farmer creates a tightly knit society which creates culture and friendships!
  7. Education and knowledge of food production is more easily defined when you have clear knowledge and accountability of how food is raised and who is raising it. 
  8. Locally grown food, picked at the family farm, is quickly delivered to your family table, when its taste and nutritional value is at its peak.
  9. When something is grown locally it is unique to your society and along with quality comes flavorful experience and pride!

Buying local has an endless list of entities that could improve not only you but your entire community's standard of living. Get out there and get busy living!
