America's Specialty Foods
GOURMET SHOPPING
This is the internets most complete selection of the healthiest, best tasting artisan food products, created exclusively by the artisan food producers of America. These are products all produced in relatively small quantities, so you're unlikely to ever see them in large supermarkets. The reason is, it just costs more to use the finest ingredients in small quantities. And, compared to the less costly, mass-produced products the large chain stores carry, these high quality, small batch products seldom sell quickly enough to be on the large store's shelf for long, if they ever do get there. Most people buy the same mass produced, low cost products out of habit, every week. It has been said however, things cannot stay the same and get better.
Our attempt to change things is called America's Farmer's Market. Our thinking is that a new motivation is needed to give all artisan food products a better chance of success is needed. Our idea is to link an online mall selling these healthy, delicious American-made products to public school websites, eliminating all the costly middlemen' markups, making these artisan made products more affordable, with the artisans dividing profits 50-50 with public schools.
We've created eight regions: New England, North Atlantic, Southeast, Great Lakes, Central Plains, Southwest, Rocky Mountain, and Pacific. Currently Region Number One, New England, is being constructed. If you click on each state, it will take you to an alphabetical list of the cities and towns in each state. Public schools will be added for each city and town, to enable consumers to designate which schools receive 50% of the profits from their purchases.
