Features Technology Local Farm CT Farms Sustainable healthy "Healthy PlanEat" Creates App for CT Shoppers to Order Ingredients from Local Farmers....Help Them Raise $$ CTbites Team January 28, 2020 Healthy PlanEat is a CT food startup that exists to help re-energize the connection between communities and local farms so people can have a healthy and sustainable diet. It's founder, Rosemary Ostfeld, is an environmental scientist who built the Healthy PlanEat website where people can order food from local organic farms to pick up at the farm, farmers market, or pop-up pick-up points. This fall, a pop-up was run at Kidcity Children's Museum in Middletown and was a great success - "I love the fact that I can get local, fresh, and organic food. I am supporting local farmers in my community and the prices are much more reasonable than the grocery store" said customer, Diana C.Healthy PlanEat is now raising money on Kickstarter which will go entirely towards developing a smartphone app to include more farms and reach new customers. The app will also have new features including recipes with in-season ingredients and info on the health and environmental benefits of local food choices. The Kickstarter is already beyond 10% of the total fundraising goal but will need your help to make creating the app possible. "It's been great to have so much support from the local community. I'm excited about the potential to reach the fundraising target so Healthy PlanEat can help increase access to healthy and sustainable food."When you contribute, you can earn a reward like a Healthy PlanEat canvas tote or t-shirt.
