I'm not a non-profit, just a farmer and software developer. Still, I wish FarmsReach success. I've seen firsthand that systems like this can make a huge difference for farmers, customers, and the communities they share. Since I released my system in January 2007, nearly 100 communities across the US & Canada have set up virtual markets, farmstands, and buying clubs that bring the efficiencies enjoyed by the giant internet retailers such as Amazon.com down to the small farmers who are trying to feed their neighbors.
