There’s a new space where local growers and food lovers can connect to share, trade and sell their produce.
Grow It Local is an online platform which provides growers and food lovers with a free listing for their homegrown produce, homemade foods and seeds or seedlings. Members can also list digital workshops or content to help educate and inspire.
While Grow It Local is a nation-wide start up, co-founder Diego Trigo is a Byron local.
Trigo says, ‘An increase in the production and consumption of locally grown foods is a win-win.’
‘This can inspire positive health and wellbeing and help build stronger and more resilient communities.’
‘There’s also the added bonus that increased composting will reduce organic waste to landfill’, he added.
