Foodzie is an online marketplace for local food producers. Our friend Liz brought this to our attention and we think it is a great way to find, and support the people who produce local food products.
On the screengrab above we looked up the products from the Greater Boston Area that are already available through this site. They include some of our favorites; Taza Chocolate, Effie's Homemade, Sassy Sauces, Shy Brothers, and Crazy Camel Dessert Hummus.
While this may be a site designed for selling products, it will also be a great way to find the local foods in an area when you are planning a trip. I know we always want to eat the local goodies when we visit an area.
Hop over and explore. If you're a Boston transplant, maybe you can order something from your old home town! And, if your favorite local food is not appearing here, send them the site. Something like this can be a great marketing tool for specialty retailers.
