James Nathan - Food Orbit

James Nathan, founder of Food Orbit, moved to Australia and was blown away by the quality of the local produce but shocked to see how local farmers were struggling and how hard it was for chefs to source directly.

After talking to many farmers and chefs and understanding the problems they faced, Food Orbit was born.

Food Orbit is changing the food system; making buying and selling local and responsibly farmed food simple! Enabling wholesale buyers of food; such as chefs and restaurateurs, to connect and trade directly with local farmers and producers online.

By shortening the supply chain we’re providing fairer prices for farmers and greater transparency for chefs. We’ve created a place for local producers to tell their story, list their inventory and promote their business online through a highly visual and searchable format that allows buyers to easily search for produce by location and farm.

Our vision is for every café, restaurant, caterer, hotel, school and hospital to have access to locally sourced produce through FoodOrbit.com
