While many consumers want to favor made in France and short circuits, new sites offer to buy directly from local producers.
For the sake of quality, to support small producers or to limit the environmental impact, many consumers are looking to buy local. But not everyone has the opportunity to go to local shops and check the origin of each product. Some players have therefore specialized in this field, and they are on the Web.
While the Internet could be associated with unreasonable mass consumption, several companies have created sites in order to pool local productions and thus to cover a large part of France. Often, they combine it with other ethical approaches, such as reasoned production, based on organic products or fair remuneration for breeders, fishermen or farmers. In a few clicks, it is therefore possible to go local, at least for its power supply. Here are some sites that can help change your habits.

Rather than deliveries throughout France, The Hive that says yes relies on a territorial network. Some 700 hives house the products produced within a radius of 60 kilometres. Customers can order their basket according to the arrivals of the week and then pick it up. Delivery is possible in Paris. The site also promotes fair compensation for producers, who receive 80% of the sale price.
To accompany all these good products, it will be easy to obtain supplies directly from a member of the Independent winegrowers. The network now brings together around 7,000 members and therefore offers a wide variety of wines, coming directly from the producers’ cellars.
