I think our best bet is to form a bulk buying club. Millstone Co-op ran one for a while, although UNFI (the main food distributor that supplied Harvest) was kinda flaky. The idea is that maybe once a month, people place orders on a shared account, and when the delivery comes, people come to pick it up. They pay for their items + a share of the delivery cost. You can get everything from snack bars to 50 lb bags of wheat flour. It takes a certain amount of coordination, and we would need a spot for the delivery truck to drop stuff off, as well as enough room indoors to store items for a day or two. Someone would need to be around to give people access to their stuff and receive payment. I think that last part might be the hardest.

Are you on the big spreadsheet of people interested in staying in touch about Harvest? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xoVC3mTgL5gkYi64Y7EDDMLw9bA4D4DY7e5spS2LTSM/edit "A spreadsheet of Harvest Co-op members so we can find each other after the co-op closes. This is an opt-in spreadsheet. Everyone who fills out the form to put themselves on the spreadsheet will receive a link to the spreadsheet."
