       Show HN: Agriquery - helping people sell their food
        
       We built Agriquery, a simple online marketplace designed to help
       farmers and small producers sell their produce directly to
       consumers (and businesses). Think Etsy, but for food.

         | store.

       | you.

       | Since then I have seen several startups attempt to execute on
       | variations of this idea. Maybe they were too early and now its
       | time.
