Thanks, those are great points!

I was having in my head two issues (which are probably hard to combine).

A) - There's already plenty of the bigger more business-savy farmers offering shipping for their products; or in person pickups. But their offers are distributed across millions of personal sites.

- I'd like to combine them and all their products in a simple search aggregator; open source & ideally slap some Bitcoin payment options on top

B) - The little ones (who don't want to be on the lists), right in your neighborhood, who might sometimes have extra eggs/produce. I'll rather find those when realizing I need an extra dozen eggs on Monday morning than going to the store, or waiting for the Saturday farmer's market.

- This might be little harder problem to solve in public ways. Private local food clubs/forums might be suitable.

- Little shopstr.store with closed-source membership just for the small community, and temporary one-off products

In my mind, any new solution should be as local as possible. People buy box subscriptions because they don't know there is a farmer 30 miles away from them that have the same, if not better, product to offer.

For the big picture, I believe everything is healthier the closer you are to your food.

If you want to be decentralized you have to be local.

I fully support payment with Bitcoin. Texas Slim of the Beef Initiative offers this.
