This commit sets up the basic project structure for the shop-from-farm e-commerce platform. It includes the initialization of the API (Node.js/Express/MongoDB) and the web frontend (Next.js). Key changes include:

- **README.md**: Updated with project overview and local setup instructions.
- **.gitignore**: Added to exclude common development and build artifacts.
- **apps/api**:
    - `package.json`: Added with core dependencies for the API.
    - `src/index.ts`: Basic Express server setup with middleware and routes.
    - `src/middleware/auth.ts`: Authentication middleware for user roles.
    - `src/models/`: Mongoose schemas for Product, User, and Order.
    - `src/routes/`: Express routers for products, users, orders, and cart.
    - `src/scripts/seed.ts`: Script to seed initial product data.
    - `tsconfig.json`: TypeScript configuration for the API.
- **apps/web**:
    - `README.md`: Basic instructions for the web frontend.
    - `app/`: Next.js App Router structure with pages for account, checkout, product, admin, cart, and home.
    - `components/shop/`: Reusable UI components for the shop (CategoriesBar, FeaturedGrid).
    - `lib/utils.ts`: Utility functions (e.g., for Tailwind CSS class merging).
    - `next.config.mjs`: Next.js configuration.
    - `package.json`: Added with core dependencies for the web frontend.
    - `postcss.config.js`: PostCSS configuration.
    - `tailwind.config.ts`: Tailwind CSS configuration.
    - `tsconfig.json`: TypeScript configuration for the web frontend.
- **Root `package.json`**:
    - Configured workspaces for managing both `apps/api` and `apps/web`.
    - Added scripts for `dev`, `build`, `seed`, and `postinstall` using `concurrently`.

This foundational commit enables the development of both the backend API and the frontend user interface.
