Zelio connects local farmers directly with restaurants, farm shops, wholesalers, and local buyers, creating a fairer, more transparent marketplace that benefits everyone in the food ecosystem.
To create a transparent, fair, and sustainable food marketplace that empowers farmers and provides all food businesses with the freshest local ingredients.
We believe farmers deserve to keep more of their profits. By eliminating middlemen, we help farmers build direct relationships with their customers and get fair prices for their hard work.
Restaurants, farm shops, wholesalers, and local buyers get access to the freshest local ingredients at competitive prices. Our platform makes it easy to discover, compare, and order from multiple local suppliers.
We're creating stronger local food communities by connecting farmers and food businesses in meaningful partnerships that benefit everyone, including the end consumer.
Traditional supply chains take huge margins, leaving farmers with only a fraction of the final selling price for their produce.
Multiple middlemen drive up costs, making fresh, local ingredients expensive and often difficult to source consistently.
Neither farmers nor food businesses have visibility into pricing across the market, making it hard to negotiate fair deals.
We connect farmers directly with food businesses, eliminating middlemen and ensuring both parties get better value from every transaction.
Our open marketplace shows real-time pricing and availability, giving everyone the information they need to make informed decisions.
We facilitate the connection and handle payments, but you control the relationship. No warehouses, no storage - just pure marketplace facilitation.
The principles that guide everything we do
We believe in open, honest business practices. All pricing, fees, and processes are completely transparent to both farmers and restaurants.
Every participant in our marketplace should benefit. We're not here to extract maximum value, but to create sustainable value for everyone.
We're building for the long term. Our success is measured by the success of the farmers and restaurants who use our platform.
We continuously innovate to make trading easier, more efficient, and more beneficial for everyone in the food supply chain.
Strong local food communities create better outcomes for everyone - from soil health to customer satisfaction.
We're committed to maintaining the highest standards for both the platform experience and the quality of products traded.
Whether you're a farmer looking to get fair prices or a food business seeking fresh local ingredients, Zelio is here to connect you with the right partners.
