Farmers’ Markets Going High-Tech with Twitter

While you might think farmers’ markets and Twitter don’t make the most compatible of matches, the folks at MyTweetMark think differently. They’re pulling in members of the local food community within the US to their #farmersmarket hashtag conversation, and creating a sense of community that otherwise couldn’t exist offline.

Using #farmersmarket, MyTweetMark is trying to bring together over 130 farmers markets in the US, focusing on California. Twitter is proving to be the ideal tool for the task, as it organizes, connects, and markets local food producers.
