Support locals with your excess

We connect families who produce or sell sustainable foods with other families who want to buy them in the neighbourhood. With Food Markies, families can discover and connect with hearts that share their food values, hands that offer their preferred type of food and ears that can listen to their concerns. They can eat confidently, knowing exactly where and how their food is made or sourced.

Thriving Communities
We are committed to empowering families in localities to create opportunities for one another through a community-led food system. We believe that a vibrant community food system will allow families to access better quality foods for good health, share deeper connections, and create local opportunities for their community to thrive better.
We are creating an enabling environment for families to start or grow the food business brand they believe in and sell their products to families who share similar values in their neighbourhood. We believe that when small food businesses thrive, it creates multiple business and employment opportunities for families in their locality.
