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.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
