What it does

Fresh Buddy allows users to search for local farmers and find fresh produce nearby.

How we built it

Our web development application is powered by sponsors Retool and Checkbook.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into various challenges such as handling and working with the Checkbook API's, figuring out how to power and host our idea. With much diligence (and a good amount of reading the api docs) we found out how to use API's and were delighted at the ease Retool provided us for creating our web application!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Completing our first ever hackathon and having a product to show for! (:

What we learned

We learned how to use Checkbook.io and Retool.

What's next for Fresh Buddy

Expand and conquer homegrown produce waste! We plan to advertise and connect others to fresh produce and find their fresh buddy!
