A Whole New Farmer's Market

From Fox Business News.

"Fans of farm fresh produce now have another option when it comes to getting their groceries: Wholeshare encourages you to get together with other lovers of wholesome foods to buy in bulk, direct from the farm.

Wholeshare works as a wholesaling resource, allowing people to save up to 20% on groceries by way of collective purchasing, directly from the farm. The company, based in San Francisco, says it puts individual orders and payments into one group order, treating a community as one wholesale client, and bypassing the retail stores--and price markups--altogether.

Right now the service is available in the New York area only, and because it’s in its beginning stages, you have to have an invitation. But if you’d like more information you can provide your e-mail address and zip code at the Wholeshare Web site."
