Last week, food tech startup Real Time Farms, in partnership with FixFood’s ”Meat Without Drugs“ campaign, launched the FixAntibiotics Food Finder. The first of its kind map enables consumers to find retail locations, farmers markets, farms and restaurants selling meat from animals raised without antibiotics.

Their current farm data has been crowdsourced over the past 2.5 years from Real Time Farms users and from their Food Warrior interns, who personally interview individual farmers. Their farmers market data is also crowdsourced, but is cross-checked against the USDA’s farmers market data.

Finally, their retailer information comes directly from Whole Foods, Applegate and Organic Prairie.In the future, they will be adding data sets from the American Grassfed Association and the National Organic Program.“By getting data from other certifying agencies,” says Rosaen, “it helps bolster the accuracy of the claims that they are in fact antibiotic-free, because they have to be to be certified.”

Soon, you will also be able to filter by growing practices, like antibiotic-free.
