The Open Food Network is an online marketplace for local food. It enables a network of independent online food stores that connects farmers and food hubs (including co-ops, online farmers markets, independent food businesses, etc) with individuals and local businesses. It gives farmers and food hubs an easier and fairer way to distribute their food.
Supported by the Open Food Foundation and a network of global affiliates, we are proudly open source and not-for-profit - we're trying to seriously disrupt the concentration of power in global agri-food systems, and we need as many smart people working together on this as possible.
We're part of global movement - get involved!

Are you participating in Hacktoberfest? Go check out our Welcome New Developers project board! We have curated all issues we consider to be a good starting point for new members of the community and categorized them by skills and level of complexity. Have a look and pick the one you would prefer working on!
If you're interested in provisioning a server, see ofn-install for the project's Ansible playbooks.
We also have a Super Admin Guide to help with configuration of new servers.
