The anniversary of the Buninyong Community Collective!
HISTORY
August 2018 - A group of sustainably minded people (including Boomerang Bags Buninyong volunteers, Buninyong Sustainability, and BREAZE people) discussed the possibility of a collective or co-op, with Hayley Quach (who had run a private business selling local, organic wholefoods) we set up a "Pledge" form (See below) to see how much interest there was in taking part.
September 2018- The pledge was put together, with an invitation to a "Start up" meeting on Sunday the 9th of September, at 1pm. Initially, 51 people responded and about 25 people made it to the first meeting.
October 2018 - Venue organised, Paul Duggan takes on the Purchasing Officer role, and first stock ordered, first members signed on, shelves and tubs organised, food handling certificate organised, stock collected.
March 2019 - 50 members signed up, an active collective, product list increasing. Successful grant to buy more food grade storage and shelving.
