Foodzie – We keep hearing how supporting our local economy -local businesses- is a beneficial way to minimize global warming and to help small businesses rid of the hardships of globalization. I’m a firm believer in buying produce at your nearest farmers market rather than at corporate chain store supermarkets. Foodzie is yet another small business supporter, connecting you with numerous small scale food producers and growers.

At Foodzie you can find cool gifts any foody will love, but it’s also the perfect place for you to sell your artisan food as well. It’s “an online marketplace where you can discover and buy food directly from small passionate food producers and growers.” Search for food goodies by category, gift, region or brand.
