Food Co op

We are exploring the idea of a food buyers co op as part of our shop Kindred Spirits Organics. Our plan is to be able to offer even greater savings on organic food and to be able to offer it to even more people. The thought as well is to offer certified organic farmers a way to market their produce, thus benefiting their lives as well. I would love to see this grow into a large scale community garden to help allow lots of families to grow their own food and to become more self sufficient, and perhaps even a way to farm raise tilapia. I envision gardening classes, compost giveaways, potluck suppers, cooking demos, and so much more. Keeping my fingers crossed...in the meantime, any ideas, suggestions, are greatly appreciated.
