Locavore is an aggregator of local merchants and an online marketplace
of locally-grown and locally-produced products. Basically, we are a
one-stop locals shopping site, kind of like a traditional grocery store,
only we are online, and all of our products are local. We support the
local economy by providing local produce, locally raised grass-fed
meats and all kinds of different foods and products that are made right
here in Central Oregon.
Common Table
Common Table is a non-profit Social Entrepreneurship project for the
betterment of our community and world. At the core of Common Table is a
café from which we endeavor to serve extraordinary food to all people,
both those with the ability to pay, and those who under typical
circumstances would not be able to eat at a café of our quality. The
Social Entrepreneurship model that we have studied and intend will allow
Common Table to serve the privileged and under-privileged, while being
sustainable for many years without major annual infusions of new
donations.
