Job description
Farmigo was founded on the principle that locally grown organic food is fresher, healthier, beneficial for the community, and more sustainable for the environment. The question we asked ourselves was, "How can we help make locally grown food more accessible and attractive so that it becomes the obvious choice for the greater population?" Our premise was that if small complementary farms in the same geographic area could collaborate with one another in a simple and efficient way, the food needs of the local community would be met and the farms would continue to develop and prosper.
The Farmigo team set out on a mission to apply its extensive software and Internet expertise to enable farms to work together and provide their produce directly to people in their communities. The Farmigo software provides consumers with an easy way to subscribe to the harvest of a local farm as well as supplement their weekly food needs through the farm's web store. At the same time, our goal is to ensure that farms using our system become highly profitable and sustainable.
