Jumpstart Logic worked with Katherine Sims and Joanna Dillon of Green Mountain Farm-to-School in Vermont to launch a website for Farm Direct - a new program offered by their organization.
Farm Direct links local farms with institutional buyers, such as schools and senior centers. This creates a new (or easier-to-access) market for local farms and provides a healthy, feel-good purchase option for institutions.
Buying local supports many key needs, as noted on the homepage of the website:
Jumpstart Logic was excited to take on the job of creating the Green Mountain Farm Direct website. We presented a few design options before agreeing on the cartoon-y feel of the final website. Katherine of Farm Direct worked with a cartoonist, Tim Newcomb, to create the final cartoon images used in the site.
We encourage you to learn more about the great work of Farm Direct and check out the website!
