     Rosemary is the founder of HealthyPlanEat, an online platform where people can order food directly from local farmers that use sustainable growing practices and local food artisans.
     Rosemary also teaches at Wesleyan University in the College of the Environment and Patricelli Center for Social Entrepreneurship. She grew up in Connecticut and is excited to be working with farmers and food artisans in the area.
     Healthy PlanEat is a new sustainable food tech startup based in East Lyme, Connecticut which helps farmers using sustainable growing practices to sell their food directly to local customers.
     Using Healthy PlanEat, farmers can upload inventory, set distribution options, and manage incoming orders from individuals and wholesale buyers such as restaurants, schools, and universities. Customers can purchase food to pick up at the farm, farmer’s market, pop-up, or get delivery. We work with USDA Certified Organic and Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) Farmer’s Pledge farms because we believe sustainable growing practices are important for healthy people and our planet. Our mission is to help increase access to fresh, sustainably grown, local food so people can have a healthy and sustainable diet.
     Please register early online so we can have a head count, and pay either online or cash at Filomena's. This will help us all get back in the swing of dining out.
