This email list is devoted to communication between those of us
interested in the Bay Area Coop that is in the process of formation
- maybe even starting, ever so slowly, to run! Our objective is
to become personally acquainted with our farmers and knowledgable
about the farming techniques that they are using in the production
of our foods. We wish to further our own health while at the same
time encouraging our farmers in the pursuit of mixed and sustainable
farming, and helping them through our coordinated effort to keep
alive the possibility of an alternative to industrialized farming.
For those goods that are not locally available, our objective is
to explore and find the best sources available and purchase as a
group so as to both lower our prices and leverage our economic
impact. [There is room for modifiction of this statement of purpose
- come to our meeting!] The coop is presently centered in Berkeley,
but collaborations are developing in Marin, San Francisco and Palo
Alto. For information about how to plug in, please contact Dev Rana,
the moderator of this list. You can find his contact info at
