The Problem
Portugal has thousands of small organic farms and artisanal food producers, but consumers can't find them. The discovery-to-purchase journey is broken:
- Producers rely on weekly farmers markets (weather-dependent, limited reach), WhatsApp groups (no discovery for new customers), or Instagram (algorithm-dependent).
- Consumers want local, fresh, organic food but face: no central platform to discover producers, no way to compare or subscribe, delivery logistics handled individually by each tiny farm (or not at all).
The result: a fragmented ecosystem where great producers remain invisible and consumers default to supermarkets despite wanting alternatives.
