My Mission for myPanier

Fast-forward to today and, while thirty years in food has taught me that creating economic opportunities for food producers is complex, it’s still my personal goal to help them. For the passionate producers like Augier Miel as much as the hard-working foodmakers from my new home in southern California, I’m helping them grow business more easily. For brands with a national or international footprint, myPanier introduces them to new customers too. It’s simple; for the team at myPanier, we’re putting our community first.

Meanwhile, we’re offering consumers a convenient way to get closer to their foodmakers too. For example by showcasing a seasonal selection of special products from around the world - and their makers - at a fair price. We’ve also made the experience of shopping on myPanier great too, for example by offering fast, quality shipping regardless of your home address.

Since 2016 with years on, hundreds of producers and thousands of orders later, my team and I are still just as passionate about what we’re doing. We’re also learning new things everyday about what makes a food marketplace work and the challenges still to surmount. We could not do it without the support of our customers, producers and vendors partners.

Ultimately, the thing that keeps me up at night is figuring out how to crack the code to re-engineer our food system so it’s more transparent and fair for producers and consumers. There’s a lot of work left to do but, having moved six thousand miles to get here, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
