PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A new digital platform aimed at transforming the local food supply chain launched today, offering residents of Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie counties a direct connection to area farmers and producers. The Hunt & Gather Marketplace, which officially went live on Wednesday, is a social platform designed to provide consumers with fresh, nutrient-dense food while bolstering the region’s agricultural economy and promoting sustainable farming practices.
The company’s mission is to decentralize the conventional food system, creating a more transparent and resilient local network. “We exist to enable regenerative farming and ranching at the micro level,” said Jonathan Sorenson, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Hunt & Gather. “Our marketplace makes it easy for people to connect with their local producers. By decentralizing the food chain, we’re improving food quality, transparency, and accessibility — while keeping dollars in the community.”
The platform operates on a subscription-based model for both its users. Producers, referred to as “Hunters,” can subscribe to various tiered plans that provide them with digital storefronts, marketing support, and flexible payout options to sell their goods directly. Consumers, or “Gatherers,” can also subscribe to receive benefits such as faster shipping, members-only discounts, and access to exclusive product releases, enhancing their local shopping experience.
By bridging the gap between producers and consumers, Hunt & Gather aims to deliver significant community benefits. For families, this means access to higher quality, farm-direct food and complete transparency about its origin. For small-scale farmers, the platform offers the potential for higher profit margins by eliminating intermediaries. This local-first approach is also designed to strengthen regional food security by creating a more robust and less centralized system.
A core tenet of the marketplace’s philosophy is environmental stewardship. The platform prioritizes producers who engage in regenerative farming and sustainable land management, connecting consumers with food grown in a way that benefits the ecosystem. Founders Nicholas White (CEO) and Sorenson envision Hunt & Gather becoming a leading platform for small-scale agriculture in the U.S., creating a community-driven food system that can serve as a model for others.
Founded in Florida by White and Sorenson, Hunt & Gather Marketplace enters the market with a stated mission of changing how America eats by empowering local producers. Residents interested in exploring the marketplace, signing up as a producer, or purchasing local goods can find more information on the company’s website, www.huntandgathermarketplace.com.
