Trevalon Organic Cooperative intends to take over running the Trevalon veg-boxes on June 1st 2012. To keep receiving a veg-box you will need to fill in the questionnaire and return it to us. Please can you follow the link below and fill in the online questionare. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFBmYzlGbUdRclhndFVCaTd2LXB1OWc6MQ#gid=0 It is a legal requirement that for us to provide you a veg-box that you have to give your consent to Trevalon Organic Cooperative supplying you a box and storing your information. Trevalon and the veg-box scheme will be owned and run by its members. We are inviting you all to join. You Do not have to be a member to get a veg-box but by joining you will become part of a new and exciting project that intends to make local, organic food, affordable and accessible. Members will have a say in how the organisation is run, get discounts on veg-boxes and courses. Members will have access to Trevalon for growing food, learning and coming together for seasonal events and enjoying good food. Members will be able to rent allotment plots and also larger plots to grow vegetables or rearing animals for sale to coop members. This year we are renting three plots and interest has been expressed in renting grazing for organic sheep. Other possibilities include areas for soft fruit, chickens, or a forest garden. We are now part of a new Soil Association, joint certification scheme which means that other landowners are now able to be part of Trevalon Organic Certification and once they have gone through the two year certification period will be growing for the box scheme. We are pleased with the number of people already involved so far but would like to increase the number of members to 160 people and would like to increase the land available for growing organically and the amount that is produced for members.
