For selling fresh food to local customers, Ooooby is a steward-owned platform that increases sales, simplifies packing and optimises deliveries. Our food system is ripe for decentralisation. Independent food producers are underpaid, and households overpay due to centralised supply chains extracting most of the value. Ooooby is changing this by building an online trading platform for small-scale food producers. Our platform is already facilitating thousands of food orders every week and is growing fast.
