Hi,

Did you know East Dulwich has a new food co-op? We are a group of people who make an order from Suma wholesale once a month to buy all sorts of food and household items. Lots of healthy, ethically sourced food and at wholesale prices. If you'd like to join the group or find out more, send me a message.

Thanks,

Clare

Thanks Simon, I didn't know about Marigold.

Please send me your email and I will add you to the group email list.

Thanks,

Clare

Hi all,

Please could everyone pm me their email address and I will propose a first meeting to get us going.

Thanks for all the enthusiasm!

Hi everyone,

Thank you for much for your interest! I have temporary access to the Suma catalogue and if you buy in bulk this is an example of how much things cost:

Chick peas - ?0.50p / 400g can

Jar of peanut butter - ?2.00

500g bag of pasta - ?0.70p

12 mixed ales - ?17.70

Ground coffee - ?3.00/ bag

Mixed nuts 1kg - ?8.80 or 125g - ?1.47

500ml organic sunflower oil - ?1.90

I'll give it a few more days in case more people want to join and then I'll arrange a first meeting. The minimum order we'd have to make as a group is ?250 which shouldn't be problem with the number of people interested already.

Hello,

My name is Clare and I'm setting up a food co-op in East Dulwich. All this involves is getting a group of people together who want to buy ethically sourced food from the wholesaler, Suma. We can buy non-fresh food (tins, pasta, sauces etc.) in bulk and benefit from free delivery and lower prices than in the specialist health food shops. If anyone would like to know more and maybe get involved, please reply to this thread. If I get enough interest, I'll organise a meeting in Dulwich to answer questions and get us started.

This is the Suma website if you'd like to see their produce: http://www.sumawholesale.com/

Thanks,

Clare
