How to set up a food co-op

 GETTING STARTED
How to set up a food co-op 
or buying group in
your community. 

16 May 2011,  
FREE Event
@ SHREWSBURY COFFEEHOUSE

Food Co-ops are a practical way in which local people can take control of where their food comes from.  This talk will explain how co-ops and buying groups work, look at some case studies, and offer guidance on how to start a new group or develop an existing one.

There will be time for discussion and networking: find existing groups in your area, connect with suppliers or be inspired to start a new initiative.

If you are a community group, food producer, food social enterprise, existing co-op, public health professional, or anyone with an interest in community food, then come along and find out more.

**N.B. Please book a place so we know how much tea and cake to provide !
