August is Food month at Public Marketspace and that means registering vendors, celebrating events and talking about one of our favorite things… FOOD!

When it comes to locally grown favorites, the finest ingredients, urban cart chic or the best dive in town—PM loves to share recipes to websites, and creating an immersive experience is how we sell food online.

Answering a question from one of our members, the best part of buying directly (or Vendor Direct) on PM is that you buy direct from the vendor and know exactly how the food was raised, grown and prepared. Which isn’t always the case at your local grocer, and learning about the coolest neighborhood restaurant in town is part of fun too.

There is nothing quite like buying a fresh box of green chilies from New Mexico, berry jams from Oregon, or organic fed beef from Montana. Vendors that sell perishable food, wine and beer directly can post products on PM and link to their site for purchase and shipping options.

Once you discover a taste for artisan foods, and learn more about the vendor, it is hard to resist the shop local availability of the online public market.
