Hi, I am considering creating a marketplace where
local
farmers can
sell
their organic produce to customers.
I need to know, ASAP: Would you buy organic food via
online
marketplace? Why or why not?

I wouldn't buy online, even if I didn't grow - I want to see it and smell and get to know the growers.

After thinking about it, i could see that some customers might like it, if they were already a given farmer's Customer already. If trust was built up.
I dont see a lot of customer loyalty any more, though.
I am a poor person to take financial advice from, though

Here is an example of such a system that seems to be working in eastern Washington.
They have dozens of local farmers participating.
