Summaries 2024 – We have fallen in love with good food
For the past four years, the online store Local Food has been offering customers regional products from local producers. These include cheese, cured meats, fish, fruit and vegetable preserves and baked goods. The store’s assortment regularly expands with new products offered by these suppliers. Currently, gourmets can purchase as many as 570 products – and this is not the only success of this 2024 venture.
Our online store is an example of implementing the idea of a short food chain. Orders are collected in advance so that delivery can take place immediately after the products are harvested or made. This ensures that they are the freshest, which ensures the highest quality.
In 2024, the online store Local Food:
- expanded the offer by as many as 50 new products – a total of 570 products are now in the assortment,
- cooperation with 3 new suppliers has been established, with a total of 24 producers already offering their products in the store,
- 9 shopping windows have been implemented, selling hundreds of products straight from local producers.
