Ask Aunt Nellie

The Ask Aunt Nellie project is a community source database for farmers looking for farm supplies and services. The goal was to build a platform which would allow farmers to perform three core functions. First, search for relevant information. Second, submit new businesses or service providers for other farmers and third to request information from the community. Originally envisioned as a collection of Google Sheets, our team was challenged to build a user friendly, replicable and maintainable web application to host this data. The Ask Aunt Nellie project is the brainchild of Diane Dorfer of Cobblestone Farms. Inspired by her Great Aunt Nellie, a farmer who passed away during her teen years. She wanted to build a project to share the intergenerational knowledge her Great Aunt could have shared with her. Three years ago, Diane submitted a proposal to Northeast SARE requesting grant funding to build what became the Ask Aunt Nellie project, which grew from the collection of spreadsheets to a protype website.
