When you buy meat or dairy from a nearby farm, the supply chain is one handshake long. You can see the farm on the map, read how they raise their animals, and ask the farmer questions before you buy.
Rootly takes this category seriously: sellers complete verification and provide the relevant license before listing meat or dairy. That structure protects buyers and the farmers doing things right — staying compliant with the rules that apply to their products is the seller’s own responsibility.
Traceability is the whole game in this category. Industrial labels tell you very little about how an animal was raised; a local farmer can tell you everything, because they did it themselves. Buying direct also keeps more of every dollar with the farm instead of a processor and a distributor.
