Farmacy Co-op is Expanding
We are building a national distribution network that is secure and owned by the People - so our family & friends always have access to organic food and essential items. This network will be interconnected with local food & economic systems all over the country.
We are focused on access to organic food, improved health & wellbeing, permaculture / agroecology / regenerative agriculture, local food systems, local production/economies, national food security & secure access to essential items.
Stage 1 - Create a Secure Distribution Network
You can click here to check what stage we are at for your community but here are the stages.
