Hi All,

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZBK9LN9

I am setting up a website for sourcing directly off producers, primary (mostly farmers) and secondary (preserves, dairy products, etc) and farmer-owned/controlled distribution networks or cooperative brands.

I want to here from producers to see if they would engage with the platform. Essentially we are starting off with the existing farmers market infrasturcture. Producers would put up their products in the same way as done deal (paying a few cents off their mobile phone credit to display products) and they would have a shop and ecommerce functionality. The they would "attend" the markets they sell at on the platform, and all of the products available at that market from the sellers would automatically be displayed in the market's catalogue so consumers can see all of the products available throughout the week so they can buy for pick-up or delivery online. Seasonal and new products are displayed as producers manage their stock on the platform's dedicated inventory system weekly.

Petrol stations would eventually be used as "produce-points" or convenient pick-up locations so that sellers don't have to always deliver direct to consumers doors, making delivery more convenient and cost-effective.

Would anyone be interested in helping me out by providing a bit of feedback? I'd really appreciate it as we have a development team working on the software at the moment and are looking for investment.

An example of the kind of producers we are looking for are: http://www.castleminefarm.ie

But this system will work for small-holders as much as larger operations

Here is the survey again, thanks
