A belated Happy New Year! We wish you well for 2024. Exciting times ahead! ??

Farmacy Co-op continues to expand. We are bringing our network & infrastructure to communities all over the UK. Systems & services owned by the People - with the genuine purpose to benefit the People & Planet.

• We're ordering more & more fruit & veg from organic farms every 2 weeks - however we're selling out earlier & earlier. Demand is HUGE - which is great.

• We distributed 450 boxes last time

• We're making changes to our Packing Operation this month, which will enable us to pack & distribute about 800 boxes each time

• We're operating on Tues, Weds & Thursday every 2 weeks now

• We now have Collection Points in Newcastle, Scotland (Borders), Nottingham, Grantham, Northamptonshire, Cheshire, Lancashire & all over the Midlands.

• We're launching 100+ Collection Points this year

• Chester, Leeds, Bristol, Bath & Cheltenham coming this month!

• Part of our work is that we're building a not-for-profit logistical operation that is owned by the local communities that use it. This essential infrastructure - local / regional & national - will give us the food security we all need.

Part of our work is that we're building a not-for-profit logistical network that is owned by the People, communities & businesses that use it. This essential infrastructure - local, regional & national - will give us the food security we all need.

We are currently looking for Collection Points in your area. Would you be interested in offering your home as a collection point? Or is there a venue we can use for a few hours?

• If it's your home, we won't advertise your full address online or in the public - only the postcode.

• We deliver 3 - 10 boxes (you decide on the maximum) to you on a Weds or Thurs afternoon every 2 weeks. On the day of delivery, our Members will collect their orders. You choose the pick up times that are convenient for you. You can leave boxes in your porch, a safe place outside or just say a quick hello to people.

• We offer you a 25% discount on your personal order as you'll be a volunteer - Collection Point Coordinator. HUGE savings on organic food...and we're already very affordable!

• You don't have to pay shipping on your order

• Other volunteer benefits

• Meet like minded people in your community. This can be the beginning of a local group focused on our plans that can help you launch a Community Hub, Community Farm & Local Packing Operation.

Email us at [email protected] if you are interested. We would appreciate your help with expanding this network. Thanks. ?

The best way to predict the future, is to invent it! ??

Farmacy Co-op continues to expand and co-create the new systems & services we're all going to need.

The new economy - with essential items & services offered by not-for-profit businesses which are owned by the People (Co-operative model). These commercial social enterprises pay their workers enough for them to thrive but they are genuinely focused on benefiting communities & nature - rather than profiteering.

We have another packing & distribution operation today & tomorrow. So a big thank you to the 50 volunteers helping! ?

We have recently launched Collection Points in:

• Burnley
• Rossendale
• Milton Keynes
• Belper
• Chesterfield
• Cheadle (Staffordshire)
• Stafford
• Denton (Greater Manchester)
• Wistaston (Crewe)

Feel free to contact us on [email protected] if you are interested in bringing our services into your community. Secure access to organic food from small local growers all over the UK! ????
