Most of our customers prefer to keep costs as low as possible by forming a food co-op and buying loose produce. A food co-op is a group of consumers who come together to organise the buying and distribution of food on a co-operative basis. They are usually based in community facilities such as schools, community centres, churches or village halls. Each week a group member, acting on behalf of the food co-op will place an order with us. We then deliver a bulk order of food to an agreed location. Volunteers from the food co-op then divide it up and pack the produce so that it is ready to be collected and taken home by co-op members. We have helped a wide range of groups and organisations to establish food co-ops across the north east. It is proving to be a popular option particularly where people do not have convenient access to high quality, affordable produce. Many people also appreciate the opportunity to socialise. Pre-packed Pre- packed produce is also available, this is more popular with people in the workplace. It requires an individual to take responsibility for compiling orders, we then deliver the produce direct to the workplace. Wholesale We can supply larger individual and bulk wholesale orders of any type of fruit and vegetable upon request. For example a number of people buy boxes of apples or oranges for juicing. |
