The fruit and vegetable retailer used to operate at the local farmers’ market on Saturdays. Having acquired loyal consumers of its organic produce, the enterprise has just opened a shop. Marketing services within Bath can assist new stores to achieve sustainable progress. Customers of TCF may now access high quality food five days per week.
Sarah Rees coordinates the activities of the new shop. She has gained seven years of experience in the food sector. Working in the capital, she made cakes and also participated in a not-for-profit initiative based on vegetable Boxes. Rees told the Bath Chronicle:
“I have finally come home to the West Country and couldn't be happier. I’m looking forward to growing the business, spreading the word about The Farm, and celebrating all things veggie with the people of Bath!”
The social enterprise has in excess of 500 members. These individuals have a stake in the enterprise and also help in terms of its management.
The idea behind the scheme is that local suppliers of organic products can obtain a fair price. This might be slightly above the ordinary market price for the goods. However, the intention is that the consumer does not pay much over the odds for any items they purchase. This balancing act is attempted by not going for the highest possible short-term profit.Get a Free Quote for Boxes
