Why Grub Trade exists
Local food economies can help address many of the biggest issues that humanity faces today... improving health, protecting the environment, and building more sustainable communities.
There are plenty of great places to find local food, like veg box schemes, farm shops, and markets. Current options usually operate in a limited area, and there's no easy way for buyers to find what's around them right now.
We are still a long way off having a totally joined-up local food system, where consumers and businesses can see everything that's in season right now near them.
That's why we've built Grub Trade, to help people all over the world to take back control of our food.

Our mission is simple
to help build local food economies everywhere
by connecting producers and buyers
How it benefits producers
We want to help you find the people around you who want to buy what you produce.
Grub Trade can work at any scale...
Local, fresh food is deservedly getting a lot of attention right now. Whatever fresh food you have to offer, you can bet there are people around you who would love to buy it: households, cafés, restaurants, pubs, clubs, hotels, schools, nursing homes... the list goes on.
Grub Trade provides the global & local platform to help them find you!
Just add whatever you have to sell, and people around you will be able to find it.

You're in complete control
Grub Trade lets you sell on your own terms.
Whenever someone places an order with you, you'll get an email alert and a link.
Here's what an order might look like. You can choose to accept it with the click of a button, or you might message the buyer back to negotiate your terms.

Grub Trade exists to get more people trading food locally. That's we've kept the system free for small-scale, local sellers, and made it as simple as possible to use. (We are planning a modest annual fee for larger producers.)
If you get new customers through Grub Trade, who then go on to buy from you direct, that's great! That's why we're here 🙂
Help to plan for profits!
One feature that people asked us for was the ability for buyers to request future produce. So we've added a "wish list" area where, for example buyers like my friend Alex to makes hot sauces can say, "I'll pay £9/kilo for organic chillies". Those messages will only be seen by local producers, who can then message the buyer with, "Sure, I'll plan to grow a full greenhouse of chillies for you from July".
Producers can also now put a future availability on anticipated harvests, to help producers sell more but also to help chefs and cooks planning their menus in advance. So if you have crops that should be ready on a certain date, or perhaps a few pigs going to slaughter, you can add the items with the future date. Buyers can opt to view only produce that's available right now, or to view stuff that's in the pipeline.
And remember - we're committed to keeping Grub Trade FREE to everyone!
