Taste Supply is the first and only social e-commerce platform for Specialty Food Makers to interface with Foodies who are searching for great foods to cook and share with their other Foodie Friends. The Specialty Foods Industry is a $207 Billion Dollar market. The Platform was built for Food Makers to market and sell to the millions of people who can not find these foods in grocery stores or even online. I believe that Taste Supply can be a major disrupter within the Grocery Industry and become the next Etsy exclusively for specialty foods.
