We are a week away from our workshop event – please RSVP by Thursday December 7th at this link: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/starting-a-farm-or-food-co-op-101-tickets-38...
Friday December 8th, 1 - 4 PM at 270 George St N in Peterborough
For over 100 years, co-ops have been addressing community problems through collective and democratic decision-making, based on a set of shared principles. The business structure with the highest rates of success, co-operatives are a wise choice for future businesses. As a result, we have seen a wave of new successful food and farm co-ops across North America to address issues of local food systems and economies.
This workshop will explain the fundamentals of what a co-op is, how food and farm co-ops are structured and some key steps to getting your co-op started. Presentation by Peggy Baillie of Local Food and Farm Co-ops. Hosted by Farms at Work. Register at the link below!
