# What is the Longwood Loop?

The Longwood Loop is a project of the South Coast Environment Society (SCES) and is run by volunteers who want to help Western Southlanders produce their own food and goods, and connect producers with local buyers to keep money in the communities where they live.

The Longwood Loop helps producers get set up on the Open Food Network, promotes available inventory to buyers, takes care of pickup and dropoff of purchases to the buyer's local trading post, and manages the breakdown of buyers' payments back to the producers they purchased from.
