AS a teenager, Chris Macquet spent years extremely ill, having contracted hepatitis A.<\/p>\n

Living with a severely damaged liver ever since, sourcing and eating fresh, healthy foods that will nourish his body is always front-of-mind.<\/p>\n

With professional backgrounds in IT, optimising natural resource supply chains, and growing truffles and eggs, Mr Macquet decided to get online and launch a new platform, making it easy for people like him to discover and buy the local, nutritious food they need.<\/p>\n

This FindGoodFood database directs consumers to listed farmers or stockists offering fresh, chemical-free produce, and it can alert them to weekly price specials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe farmer submits data, puts in all the varieties of produce, the markets they go to, puts in all their food outlets, their farmgate, and the hours they\u2019re available. All this information is for free,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur philosophy is that it doesn\u2019t matter what dietary regime a person follows, whether it\u2019s paleo, vegan, keto… They still have to balance their diet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis way, they can make good food decisions, supporting small farmers that grow the nutrient-dense, chemical-free food they need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Designed with consumer health and small farming enterprises in mind, Mr Macquet\u2019s site has a radius search function, highlighting all producers registered with the database across targeted areas of regional Victoria.<\/p>\n

Formerly owning Truffleberry Farm in Navigators, he said FindGoodFood is a step forward in strengthening the \u201clocal food economy” which needs constant support to stay alive and thrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a great passion, amongst people we are connected with, about preventing good, organic, quality farms from falling down. Some are even helping young farmers to buy them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Macquet\u2019s current primary objective is to attract at least 200 consumers to the site in Ballarat.<\/p>\n

Register and source more information at findgoodfood.net<\/strong><\/a>. FindGoodFood will also soon offer a multi-modular app, with plans to go global.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
