Dickes Bee: a new FOOD COOPERATIVE
Posted March 7th, 2011 - 11:30 am by from Berlin, Germany (Permalink)
Hi all!

Sorry for cross-posting to here and the general Berlin group...but thought i may find some foodies in crime here.

I've been joining people together to start building a food cooperative - which rests on the simple principles of
- being a working membership coop
- carrying only vegetarian products
- and when possible: bulk and regional. Rice and chickpea flour according to the kilo you choose, yeeaaaah!

All non-vegan products will be only from local small farmers we can visit. I'd love it to be vegan, but afraid it won't survive as a business model...at least not at first. :( But we can do lots of awareness-raising on animal rights. :)

My grand idea is to open the food cooperative in conjunction with a vegan cafe...then we hopefully would not have to carry non-vegan products to make the whole thing work...hm...

Anyways, if you're interested and/or if you got ideas:

Here's the temporary blogspot

ps for you hardcores: ja, i have two domestic cats - but they were both on the street..so i'm ok with providing them sustenance and love. :) but no, the camel does not live with me, unfortunately. :(

Hey Ho!

I'm afraid Berlin is too far for shopping. Anyhow!!!!

PLEASE, Berlin has so many vegan restaurants now! Anyone want to open a cozy place in Babelsberg!?? Regular customers are promised! Anyone who wants to get to know the situation is welcome to contact me and come over for a cup of coffee..

Katti, good luck with the coop endeavor!
