We transform food systems fairly.

It's why we get out of bed every day. We're a global non-profit, based on open source code. We play fair. You can always trust us.

We know you have big ideas, and we want to help. We'll share our knowledge, networks and resources. We know that isolation doesn't create change, so we'll partner with you.

We meet you where you are.

You might be an alliance of food hubs, producers, or distributors, and an industry body, or a local government.

Whatever your role in your local food movement, we're ready to help. However you come to wonder what Open Food Network would look like or is doing in your part of the world, let's start the conversation.

We make food movements make more sense.

You need to activate and enable your networks, we offer a platform for conversation and action. You need real engagement. We’ll help reach all the players, all the stakeholders, all the sectors.

You need resourcing. We’ll bring all our experience to bear. You need cooperation. We’ll better connect you to a global network of peers.

Here's the detail.

What is a Group Page?

A group page is a place for multiple businesses in a region to be showcased together.

It is great way to promote your regional brand, and drive traffic to your member businesses, whether they are a food producer, processor, distribution or food retail business.

A group page on the Open Food Network can be flexibly applied to your needs as an industry body, a local government or an alliance of food hubs, producers, or distributors.

What will my group page look like?

Customers can clearly see the businesses in your group with an interactive map.

They can also browse and search for businesses with our clear listings and informative profiles.

Ask us about the possibility of additional features for your group page – we are keen to work with you to customize the group page offering to your needs (a blog? a calendar of events?)

What are the benefits?

Collaborative

The Open Food Network is an amazing platform for collaborative marketing, the easiest way for your members and stakeholders to reach new markets. We’re non-profit, affordable, and simple.

Flexible

Your member producers/businesses get a free profile on the Open Food Network website and also have choice to upgrade to an online store on OFN at a later stage (linked from your group page).

It is easy to set up and use, and we can tailor workshops and training for you and your stakeholders regarding more advanced uses if/as required.

Unique

We will provide you with a unique URL for your organisation’s page on the Open Food Network. This makes it easy to connect to from all your current media platforms.

With our regional maps and listings, it is easy for customers to search and find links through to profile pages for your member/local producers and/or food businesses.
