Welcome to the Conscious Choice Food buying club. this community endeavor was created by three individuals: Suzanne Botsford, Jade Fountain and Sandi Loytomaki. All have a passion for getting great food in the hands of all people.
OUR MISSION AND VISION
Our aim is to provide high quality foods to the community at a cost that is accessible and affordable for all. Our goal is to foster an awareness and use of quality food options that supports and sustains life at every level.
Our vision for high quality foods includes and is not limited to:
- rare or difficult to find foods
- raw foods
- vibrant foods
- conscious trade foods
- sourcing foods and companies distributing and /or producing foods
- buying in group or large quantities to facilitate beneficial pricing for all
conscious trade food: food that is seeded, tended, harvested, delivered and handled in a manner that supports environmental sustainability, social responsibility, integrity filled practices - business and other, and community development)
We believe that this quality of food can and should be available to all people, regardless of economic situation.
In our experience as shoppers and 'food buffs', we have found:
- many of the 'superfood' and raw food prices and packaging are prohibitive to the average conscious shopper (excessive packaging, small amounts, high prices)
- many of the foods listed in raw food 'un-cookbooks' and some of the healthy food cookbooks are difficult to find in stores in our area (we do recognize this is improving)
- for what is on the shelves there is less choice in companies to choose from
- to order these foods from an international country carries a hefty tax on the items as many are deemed 'luxury' items
- in our discussions with others, many do not have the time or resources to source and purchase these products themselves
- companies often have minimum dollar amounts making it difficult for an individual to order
We do not want to do what has already been done. We desire to continue to support local producers and growers, vendors and stores that already exist in our community (see the resource section at the end of this area). We do wish to serve people that may not be served by these local resources. And we wish to continue to connect people with outstanding local resources. Together we can create something wonderful - in a manner that supports many in our community!!
We are inviting other people interested in participating in the food buying club that has the benefit of:
- access to great food
- affordable costs
- regular clear communication
- sacred relation
- smooth running systems
- and of course...all the while...living, loving and laughing
Our motto is to keep it simple, successful, smart and beneficial to all.
