Harvest Exchange

Harvest Exchange is an online network designed to connect local producers to local consumers. We operate ad-free and charge our users nothing because of the tremendous support we receive from users and those behind the scenes. Harvest Exchange wants to give "local e-commerce" a whole new meaning. Harvest Exchange started as an idea in 2010 while co-founder Adam was working for a civil engineering firm. He spent great amounts of time on the road, and when he could, would try to eat local produce. His search for the produce was usually fruitless, pun intended. He was amazed at how useless the internet was in his search and felt he could do something about it. He had some programming experience, but his lack of time and real technical know-how lead to the idea stalling and going nowhere. Then, while traveling through Salt Lake City in early 2011, Adam met future co-founder Matt. This chance meeting reignited the idea and after a few months, Adam decided to approach Matt with it. The timing couldn't have been better, Matt was just reaching the point in his web business (One Web Centric) to devote time to a worthwhile side-project. From there the two established the not for profit benefit corporation Bonum Facere Inc, which in Latin means "do good." A few months into development their initial website moved to Harvest Exchange is now in pre-release stage and is already attracting much interest due to its grassroots approach.
