# Welcome to the Longwood Loop

**This user guide is designed to help you get started as a producer on the Longwood Loop.**

## Overview <a href="#an-overview" id="an-overview"></a>

The Longwood Loop uses the [Open Food Network software](https://openfoodnetwork.org.nz/) to enable producers in Western Southland to sell their produce to local buyers.

This guide is a smaller version of the full Open Food Network Guide available [here](https://guide.openfoodnetwork.org/), and is intended to make it easier for Longwood Loop producers to find the information they need to set up and manage their inventory.
