Monmouthshire. Some of these farms are growing exclusively for them, producing Welsh grown cherries and plums.

poverty agenda. They also support food co-ops to become more sustainable, for example, by recycling and reusing
packaging, by linking with other organisations theyre resource efficient and provide access to local welsh produce.

Fresh Produce Provider of the year 2016. Congratulations!

GROW YOUR Community Food Co-op: Top Tips

Adding additional produce to your co-op list has proven to support community co-ops to become
more sustainable. Why not speak to your supplier and see if they supply eggs for example?

 Getting more customers will support your co-op to become stronger. Do you advertise your co-op
locally? Do you link or advertise your co-op with other local organisations? Is there another event you can
link to your co-op such as mother and baby groups, digital sessions, coffee mornings, meetings?
