High Quality, Fresh Produce Available at Your Fingertips at New Online Marketplace
With the back-to-school season just around the corner, OpenTaste wants busy parents, families to know that there is an easy and convenient way to access farm fresh, organic and healthy food directly from the farms and local growers.
An online food marketplace, OpenTaste brings health conscious food lovers closer to local California farmers, private growers and gourmet purveyors. Its easy online ordering process and free 24-hour delivery broaden consumers’ options for quality food and organic groceries readily available to them.
“With the back-to-school season in full swing, parents are looking for new ways to serve their children with healthy lunch options,” said Kenneth Wu, CEO of OpenTaste. “OpenTaste offers parents with the perfect solution to access organic, healthy food options while save them time spent on grocery shopping to jump-start the school year right with healthy meals for their kids.”
As a new father again, Wu had to revisit and reevaluate the food that was being consumed by his family. “It made me more aware of the quality of produce and meats that were available,” continued Wu, “OpenTaste offers the freshest of produce and meats straight from local growers and farmers all at a family-friendly budget.”
OpenTaste is an online marketplace that connects consumers directly to local farms, private growers and some of the best-known food makers. All qualifying vendors go through a rigorous selection process in order to sell on OpenTaste. Vendors’ proximity to Los Angeles enables produce to be hand-picked fresh from the farms when orders are placed online by customers. This means the produce is never frozen or stored in the stockroom or on the shelves.
OpenTaste started bringing fresh produce and making free 24-hour delivery to Pasadena and nearby residents in April. OpenTaste has more than a thousand customers in and around Pasadena, with an expanding customer-base throughout Los Angeles.
