Marcus Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 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.

Marcus Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 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.

akc74 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 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) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/58646-organic-sustainable-convenient-family-shopping-in-east-dulwich/#findComment-848701 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodsier Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 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?

Jenny1 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 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.
