Ontario Natural Food Co-Op

Greenguy · 2012-06-16T08:42:59Z

The ONFC is a large distributor in Ontario of natural and organic foods. They also have things like oat groats, which can be hard to find elsewhere.They don't sell to the public, but they do offer a buying club. Here's their breakdown on it (cut and pasted):"What is a Buying Club?Buying Clubs are groups of individuals and/or families who get together to buy directly from the wholesaler. Each member creates an order based on the ONFC Buying Club catalogue, and the club places a collective order to ONFC. We deliver the order to a club member’s home where it is divided into the individual orders. Members then pick-up their orders and pay for their invoices.What are the Benefits of starting a Buying Club? Supporting a sustainable food system by purchasing organic and eco-friendly products Strengthening relationships with your community, friends and family Saving money on your food dollar by buying in bulk or by the case Convenient one-stop-shoppingHow do I start my own club?To get your own club started you need to have at least five adult members. Often a Buying Club begins with five households or five families and grows to include more individuals. There is no maximum number of members. If you aren’t able to get a group of people together, there is also the option of joining an existing club.Once you have a group of 5 or more people together, just fill in the Buying Club application form and fax or mail the completed form to us and we will set up a Buying Club account for you. You can start ordering shortly thereafter."I'd be very interested in starting a club in my area, or joining an existing one. Is anyone else interested in this?If you're worried about being anonymous, I have a good workaround on that. I can bring the food into a shipping depot owned by a family member and can distribute from there.
