Online/local collection service, for the weekly family shop. All in one place, ethics pre-vetted. Wouldn't it be great? (Sorry to disappoint.)


Can someone please start something like this. I'd do it myself, but I'm easily distracted and unreliable. If someone just did all the work, I'd happily be a loyal customer.

Thanks bawdy-nan, that's quite interesting. Not really what I was looking for though. Was thinking more along the lines of a specifically organic, sustainable, community shopping coop... type thing...


Something that takes the effort and research out of sustainable, organic living, and maybe even uses combined buying power to bring down prices (I suppose I didn't really say that before...) From food, to household supplies - staples rather than more speciality items.

This is really good local veg box

Plus check out the likes of this place in Crystal Palace - for all your grain needs https://thegraingrocer.co.uk/

Crystal Palace Market is generally quite good for organic/ethical-foodstuffs

I work at Farmdrop and happy to answer any questions about it, but i know this is not the place for a big sales pitch!


If you search for us you'll find an offer for forumites if you want to give it a try...there is a home delivery option OR you can pick up from the Actress or the Rye (and a few other places)

I think you mean to buy in bulk, from good Eco suppliers things such as rice, grains beans, perhaps some canned organic goods, general staples bought by someone who can store it as their home/depot, allowing local regulars to come and pay and pick up their supplies from one Place. more a community led thing, which someone with a van can buy, and the rest of us go buy our produce from them. is that correct Marcus?
Hi bodiser. In practise that's what the existing east dulwich food co-op (as mentioned by hpsaucey) already does. As hpsaucy says anyone can join - simply email claire-bear for details. It doesn't run precisely as you describe but the end result is pretty similar - and it may evolve over time if members' needs change.

    • To be fair, anything which waylays someone on their way to Palma Nova or Lloret de Mar from spending even more pre-flight time in Spoon's surely has some merit? I think losing a few quid on a litre of Bacardi and 200 Benson & Hedges Gold seems a reasonable price for society to pay. ,
    • Calling All Private Chefs – We’re Looking for You! We’re currently looking for talented private chefs in and around East Dulwich (and across London) for a number of exciting upcoming bookings and events. If you’re a chef, or know someone who is, we’d love to hear from you. Please drop your name, contact info, and a quick intro below or message directly. Thanks! Anthony Bird & Co Events
    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.
