When we created Flagler Organics, our first thought was simply a way to get affordable organic foods to our home.
Shopping for food takes a big bite out of our wallets. Supermarkets are expensive, and if we shop at smaller stores, the prices are even higher. We wanted a way to save money on basic groceries, eat healthier, and strengthen our sense of community all at the same time?
A food-buying club is a group of people who get together to buy food from the “wholesale”market (the same place that super-markets and stores buy their food) which is not open to individuals — just businesses and groups. Because they sell in bulk, wholesale distributors provide low prices. Food-buying clubs members can save money because they avoid the additional cost that a supermarket adds on to make a profit. Food-buying clubs place orders with distributors and buy for their own use.
We realized that through our food buying club, we also have discovered a special community of people who have similar values. We all want to have a healthier lifestyle, we care about our environment, families and we love good food!
Food buying clubs are run on a volunteer basis, with members volunteering time toward the tasks distributing the food when it comes in and inviting others to join.
What are the advantages of Flagler Organics?
- Meet your neighbors, no more isolation
- Neighbors save money on the food that their families need.
- Neighbors share recipes and learn about new products.
- By working together, members of the club get to know one another and strengthen their community.
Join our growing community, discover the rewards of sharing food, laughter and time brings us back to our values.
