oh and for the same day comment, we plan to ship goods out the day of. Everything a user is able to purchase will already be at a local Natch fulfillment center.

The advantages would be that they will have the ability to sell to more people that traditionally do not have access to their goods. Currently it's difficult to shop locally or from independent brands because farmer's markets aren't frequent or nearby for many, and doing consistent shopping from many independent brands on multiple online stores is inconvenient.

The other main advantage I think Natch provides is that it will be an open marketplace where anybody can sell. If you are a startup food brand or grower, there is no common place to market and sell your products to the people around you. Natch will give these independent sellers the ability to sell directly to the consumers and develop their market without needing to get into stores.

I agree that it may take time for some people to become acclimated to not shopping for things in person. Since this issue seems to revolve around picking produce, we hope that those people will find a myriad of other craft goods(drinks, snacks, cheeses) from Natch until they become more comfortable with the experience. However the growth in companies like Instacart and Amazon fresh, show that the willingness to shop online for food is increasing, and I think this trend will continue as the prices, technology, and options improve.

In regards to finding out about Natch, we plan to start city by city and reach out individually to the farmers and independent brands in the area to help them sell on Natch. In these areas we would have to target the shoppers that traditionally support establishments like farmer's markets and demonstrate that Natch provides them with an easier and better way to shop locally.

Thanks for the questions :)
