We all own the Open Food Network
Open Food Network is community supported software. As a not-for-profit organisation working to build a better food system, we exist to support small farms and community food enterprises. Our community members are our partners in this work. We strive to keep our fees fair and affordable, while ensuring we can raise funds to contribute to the global effort that develops and maintains OFN software.
