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.

    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down!
