Foodzie was started by Mr LaFave and two of his friends,who met during college at Virginia Tech,where they would pay frequent visits to farmers markets.Last year,while living in North Carolina,one of them,Emily Olson,now 24,came up with the idea.She was working as a brand manager for a gourmet(美食的)grocery chain and realized that people who enjoyed fine food but did not work in the business had no way to discover handmade foods outside their local farmers markets.Small farmers had no way of finding or selling to faraway customers,either.
阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、CLeabharlann BaiduD项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The American local food movement has been all about buying seasonal food from nearby farmers.Now,thanks to the Web,it is expanding to include faraway farmers too.A new start?up,Foodzie,is an online farmers' market where small food producers and growers can sell their products.
Foodzie has had 43,000 visitors in the past month alone.So far,29 sellers have opened shops and 41 are in the process of opening them.The founders recently hired a fourth employee to help recruit(吸收)new food producers at farmers markets and food shows.Mr LaFave is convinced that the recession(经济衰退)will not reduce people's interest in buying locally grown and handmade food.“There is a misunderstanding that all these foods are more expensive than mass?produced alternatives,”he said.“People are pouring their heart and soul into these products,and they are of the highest quality.”
The three quit their jobs,and opened the site to the public in December,2008.On Foodzie,sellers set up virtual stores for free to post their food and tell shoppers about themselves,and Foodzie takes a 20 percent cut of each sale.In return,Foodzie serves as a middleman.It takes the purchase information from the buyer,processes the payment and e?mails the seller a prepaid shipping label.
C.she worked as a brand manager for a gourmet grocery chain
D.she found there was no link between food buyers and small farmers
