Food Co-ops - not to be mistaken for the supermarket chain, can work on a number of levels with unlimited available members. The idea behind them is to buy in bulk, from ethical sources, divide into potions, and resell at cost price. Everything is done voluntarily and often takes place in some musili eating vegans’ front room. Anything which is ethically sourced is available; so long as there is a demand.
Most food co-ops will sell the following:
Of course, on top of these co-ops, you could find a local meat supplier for the occasional Sunday roast, a veg box scheme or very good green grocer with local seasonal produce. They’re not all vegan groups (but most specialize in that area).
