Interestingly, I’m finding many other people believing the same thing, so now my wife is a "co-op widow," (as she puts it). I have never been the founder of anything like this before, so it’s a little overwhelming at times. So too, the fact that we are in Republican Orange County and I am talking about a cooperative market.... Currently most people envision a bunch of hippies dividing up cheese. I'm going to have to re-educate the community. Therefore, let it be said, it will be a physical market, as well as a "California Corporation.” In techie talk, what was Co-op 1.0, is now Co-op 2.0.
Fortunately, passion for the project quells any doubts. Viva:
- Organic produce
- Natural, free-range, grass-fed meats
- Locally produced food
- Bulk raw foods
- Sustainable farming
- Fair Trade products
- Community giving
Wish me luck!
Sam
