Well, I feel dumb. :)
I guess I have no clue what a Co-Op is.
So let me try to define this then.
An individual acts as the go between. That person heads the "co- op" (for lack of a better term right now). THis person is the contact between a small group of people and the farmer(s).
Its not a CSA but it involves a group of people that purchase produce as a group. Each week they are sent a list of available foods/items/ goods. They then choose product and quantity and the goods arrive for them to distribute among members. No money is put down with the possible exception of a membership or a deposit for totes.
On the grower/supplier's end each week you get a list to fill.
That is the rough concept. The buyers can pic up the food or have it delivered at a central location. The payments are received upon delivery. Old totes are replaced with full ones.
No money is exchanged prior to a season. There are no shares and is flexible for the buyers regardless of family size of needs.
So, now, what do I call this? Is there a name for it?
Thanks everyone for helping out so far.
