opportunities for Local Agriculture, Farms and Local residents" FREE web sites that are available for the local farming and agriculture community. Both offer opportunities to reach local, regional, state, and out of town visitors and attract these guests to your farm. www.foodtrader.org http://www.foodtrader.org/ UNIVERSITY PARK, Maryland -- The Environmental Finance Center located at the University of Maryland announces the launch of Foodtrader.org, a virtual farmer's market that will connect both buyers and sellers with local food as soon as it is harvested. In concert with its sister site Agtrader.org, Foodtrader.org will give consumers access to the rich diversity of agricultural resources within the state of Maryland. With Foodtrader.org, farmers can create an instantaneous listing that will identify the description, quantity, price, and location of their items. Consumers can search listings within specific categories and communicate directly with the farmer to buy the food at the farm, at a farmers market or at another prearranged location. COLLEGE PARK - The University of Maryland says consumers can now buy directly from farmers through a new online farmer's market. FoodTrader.org lets small, independent Maryland farms create listings of fresh foods for sale, as well the price and location. The site, launched by the university's Environmental Finance Center, went live July 15th and has listings from more than 20 farms offering products that include specialty cuts of meat, fruits, vegetables, flowers, honey, dairy products and even soap made from goat's milk.
