About AgBASE^®

Find foods fast, at a fair price!

 AgBASE.com quickly delivers online wine connoisseurs, specialty food consumers or produce buyers directly to their choice of farm and winery sources with the ease of shopping at a farmer’s market. By directing buyers to a virtual farmer’s market, we have become the premier world-wide one-stop source of local fresh foods and wine at a fair price. 

In addition to providing a worldwide virtual farmer's marketplace, one of our primary business objectivs at AgBASE is to provide online visibility and value to our many producer and reseller clients.  Featured businesses and advertising sponsors are recognized throughout this website.

Since the inception of AgBASE in 2006 our online growth has been most rewarding. We have experienced consistent growth recently reaching new heights of 10 million annual hits and more than 100,000 customer visits each month to online stores.  Currently, near one-half of all website users who view product listing on www.agbase.com click through to a "buy online" business.

The AgBASE vision is to be a virtual marketplace at the heart of an online social community featuring interactive information of interest to consumers, value-added resellers, and agricultural producers.  2009 will see additional content and forums, but for now the core value is based in presenting consumers with a way to “Find Foods Fast at a Fair Price.

AgBASE.com provides the perfect opportunity to showcase yourself and your business in all of its uniqueness.  A basic listing is FREE.  Opportunities to promote your business products through eye-catching advertisements are available at http://www.agbase.com/advertise/

Market Opportunity

The Internet has become the primary one-stop-shop for enormous numbers of people.  The variety of virtual stores is endless: they go to Amazon.com for books, Expedia.com for travel packages, or Shoebuy.com for a pair of shoes.  Now with AgBASE.com, an Internet shopper in search of Beluga caviar, a select cut of meat, mint oil, a gift box of apples, or perhaps a specialty cheese has a one-stop premium food marketplace to shop.

AgBASE can quickly take consumers or buyers directly to their desired food and beverage product, as easily as if they were shopping at a farmer's market.  We connect buyers and sellers across the globe, enabling people to locate and order rare and specialty foods and beverages, ethnic cuisine, or even just a New York steak with a "click of a mouse!"

Throughout the U.S. and Canada, consumers are showing a growing desire to shop for healthy and "safe" foods that are locally grown or prepared within 100 miles of home.  Some are opting to give up foods that are imported large distances, at great expenditures of fossil fuels, and at potential risk of international food safety issues.  Others merely want to support their local farmers and businesses, while enjoying food that is fresher, healthier and better tasting.  We can connect buyers and sellers within as little as 25 miles of each other and as far as they wan to go!

Some regions specialize in certain products, and seasonal specialties.  With AgBASE, the buyer wishing to compare the wines of Washington, the cheeses of Wisconsin, Alaska Copper River salmon or the Valentine chocolates available in New England can do so quickly.

And, we go beyond merely expediting sales.  AgBASE is the first Internet site to look at the food and beverage markets as a whole.  In addition, we bring connoisseurs of good food together and the individuals who produce or sell this food in an online social community.  Other websites offer content, but only AgBASE offers a person-to-person connection, an opportunity to interact within a community, and the ability to purchase the full range of products they want from the source they choose to support.

Our Business

AgBASE through its online website, provides consumers an alternative non-traditional choice of direct local shopping for produce, wine and other agricultural-based products.  However, because of consumer's choice, seasons and location, local sources of food are not always readily available.  AgBASE then provides an expanding online marketplace to shop for globally available food and beverage products.

Thus, AgBASE online serves as a virtual farmer's market, focusing on supporting farm product marketing at both the local and global levels.  We directly connect consumers and small lot wholesale buyers and distributors with agricultural producers and value-added resellers of food, beverage, and other agricultural products.  Our marketplace forms the heart of a social community website that features interactive information of interest to consumers, value-added resellers, and agricultural producers.

AgBASE, Inc., was formed as a State of Washington Corporation in 2002.  Our office base is in the Wenatchee Confluence Technology Center.  To facilitate easy use, our virtual farmer's market website has more than 50 product categories that can be located either by search or by use of a three-step content wizard.  AgBASE listing of products is free of charge and supported by internal contextual advertising where the advertisements are selected and served by automated systems based on the content displayed to the user.
