Unlocking the local larder

Discover and buy directly from local food growers and producers

So what’s this all about?

We believe that local, seasonal produce should be easier and more affordable to get your hands on.

Ok, But how?

We’re building an online marketplace that makes it simple to discover and buy directly from local growers and producers.

The Rhubarb

Marketplace

Rhubarb is an online marketplace that makes it easy:

  • For local businesses of all shapes and sizes to easily market and sell their produce.

  • For people who care about the quality, sustainability and provenance of the food to buy locally.

How it works

Explore

Connect

Connect with producers and growers of all shapes and sizes.

Explore and discover the wide range of local food on your doorstep.

Buy and Sell

Rhubarb is a powerful e-commerce platform that combines the choice and quality of a farmers market with the convenience of online shopping.

Local, meet simple

Whether you’re wanting to buy or sell locally, Rhubarb makes it simple.

Launching in 2025

How do I get involved?

Local business

  • Rhubarb helps businesses of all sizes to market and sell directly to their audience.

    How?

    It's like having your own e-commerce platform without the hassle or cost.

    So whether you're just starting out or looking to grow, Rhubarb gives your business all of the tools you need to sell your produce online.

Community initiative

  • We live in a wealthy country, where food is in abundance. So why do almost 25% of children live in poverty? And why do families struggle to eat healthily?

    Rhubarb makes it easy for food banks, pantries, community kitchens and other groups to make connections and source local, seasonal food.

    Let’s work together to banish food inequality to the history books.

Be part of it

Rhubarb is designed to help connect people and communities, and to start building resilient local economies. And that means working together.

You can do this by simply signing up, exploring the marketplace and buying from local businesses. We want as many people to join in as possible.

But, if you can spare a few bob a month, consider joining the Rhubarb Patreon. Together, we can make this grow.

Cheers,
Jake
