Permanently closed.

By the Bushel Community Food Co-operative is an open membership co-operative that was formed as the result of community concern for the state of our local food system. Community members-farmers, consumers, advocates and organizers-identified the need to find creative ways to efficiently, effectively, and positively make the link between the growing of local, ecologically-sound food with a solid co

mmunity of eaters, and how to do this while supporting the growers, organizers, and eaters. The basic concept was that we wanted to provide the foundations for the development of a local sustainable food system where producers, workers/organizers and consumers could work together and build off of the different skills and resources that working co-operatively could bring together. This creates the situation where producers, workers and consumers all sit at the same table, listen to each other and work together with the purpose of finding more sustainable solutions for all involved. This big concept, needed to start small, so it could get started at all. So, collectively we decided to start with growing our local ecological growers and by encouraging local producers to participate by having a secure distribution system to an eager markets of eaters who want to support the development of a sustainable food system for all. It was these concepts that lay the foundation from which By the Bushel Community Food Co-operative was formed and incorporated in April 2009 and transformed into a not-for-profit co-operative in 2010.
