Currently, FoodHub supports a wide variety of distribution models—from Alaskan fishermen who freeze and ship their product via UPS; ranchers who run their own trucks into town; farmers who ready wholesale orders for pick up at farmers markets; to all those who gladly rely on the services provided by mainline distributors. However, we believe that FoodHub opens doors for many new distribution opportunities. Below are two we are focused on currently.
