Useful information for new members WHO ARE WE? Simply a group of people who have freely organized themselves with common basic goals, such as responsible consumption and a taste for organic products. It all started in May 2011 after previous assemblies. We work with a supplier called “La nansa” www.lanansa.cat, always in the process of development, flexible and open to new proposals. WHERE ARE WE? We moved from our beloved Roxanne bar and since January 2013 the meeting point is La llibreria Aldarull in Carrer Torrent de l'olla 72, Gràcia 08012. Aldarull's membership fee is 5 euros per month which, in addition to allowing us to use the space on collection days gives us the right to discounts when we buy books there. We have a Facebook group called: Roxanne’s Vegetables; as well as an internal communication list on googlegroups.

WHAT WE DO? We meet at the bookstore every Wednesday from 7pm to 10pm to pick up our basket of organic produce and hold a follow-up assembly on the third Wednesday every 2 months where we get organized and get to know each other a little more each time.
HOW DO WE DO IT? We do rotating shifts on Wednesdays. On collection days, 2 basket makers take turns, we have a document on googledocs that indicates to each “family unit” or “ecological basket” with which other person on the list it will be their turn to share a shift. They must check that the baskets that have arrived fit the order made, mark the baskets that are being picked up, etc. Each shift has tasks determined by the cooperative and which are different each week and are explained in the same document (collecting money, placing the order, etc.). We continue to work to reach an agreement that is satisfactory to all.

OUR COMMITMENTS: Pick up the basket every Wednesday. If you are unable to do so, notify the person in charge of the shift or send someone to pick it up. It is important that no basket is left. In this case we would distribute it among the people present. Attend bimonthly meetings every third Wednesday at 8pm. If you are unable to attend, please notify us in advance. Because important decisions are made that commit everyone, we share the minutes by mail for those who were not there. Payment is made in cash, in advance and no later than the last Wednesday of each month. As a consumer cooperative, a period of 6 months of commitment is established with the farmer, for production reasons. At this point we ask for constancy and respect for the pact. If you want to stop collecting the basket, you must notify us a month in advance, and try to find a replacement who wants to adopt it. OUR DUTIES: Take care of the collection of the baskets, that is, try not to leave everything full of ecological brochures, which are very beautiful but do not go with the style of the bookstore. Responsibility with collection shifts and weekly tasks. Punctuality in meetings. Punctuality of payment. OUR RIGHTS: We can use the space on Wednesdays for our assemblies and to deliver the baskets, propose activities to do in the Alderull space and have a discount when we buy books with the membership card. We will receive a basket each week; small, medium or large. In addition to the other products we order. Eat healthy. Coffee, leak, meat and dairy are optional and we are open to include more products to suit our organizational capabilities. That’s all we’ve achieved so far, don’t be scared because we’ve just started engines. We look forward to seeing the fruits in the future, especially patience if you get a little lost when you start, as we try to exercise a horizontal organization and self-manage as well as we can and at first it is difficult to get used to. If you are interested, you can stop by the bookstore on Wednesdays from 7 to 10 pm or write to us. We will solve any doubts or questions and send you a welcome letter if you are interested. Health!
