What is Cart 8 Marketplace?
Cart 8 Marketplace is Australia’s first direct-to-consumer food marketplace. We are not a retailer but instead, we connect consumers directly to local producers, growers, makers and brands behind the food you eat, and delivering it directly to your doorsteps.
We do this through establishing delivery infrastructure and network, creating a transparent and innovative online marketplace and providing education to both producers and consumers.
