Seeking Tips for Starting a Local Food Delivery Program !!

Hello

I am exploring the idea of starting a local food delivery program in my area…, inspired by the incredible work I have seen here. My goal is to connect small farmers with local households to ensure fresh produce reaches those who need it most.

I would love to learn from this knowledgeable group:

What are some cost-effective ways to handle delivery: ?? Should I use personal vehicles or partner with a local service: ??
How can I build trust and strong relationships with local farmers: ??
What are some creative ways to attract and retain customers for a program like this: ??
Are there affordable tools or platforms that streamline ordering, tracking, and payments: ??

If you ave been part of similar initiatives or have ideas to share…, I would be thrilled to hear your insights. Any advice, success stories, or lessons learned would mean the world.

Thank you for fostering such a supportive community !!

With Regards,
MarcosFlutter

I would recommend volunteering at a couple of places or even working at a farm / non profit to get more involved and to learn more. Very welcoming communities and im sure you will find connections and answers!
