The Orchard Bank is a consumer cooperative that brings together up to 20 families and works with the system of "closed basket." This means that you make the effort to adapt to what nature gives us instead of asking an effort unsustainable nature. Every week we received a basket that changes varied production, the season and the weather, and that respects our ethical, social and economic. We do this by establishing bonds of trust and commitment to producing agro-ecological local foods that offer proximity (KM-0) and seasonal. Let's see the fields and the people who grow and share with them the fate of each harvest, the secrets of each variety, the tricks in the kitchen ... This direct contact, no intermediaries allows organic vegetables affordable for us and profitable for the farmer / a.

As a collective we organize ourselves to distribute tasks among all the people who are part and consensus decisions horizontally and solidarity. We join a social transformation actually slow but unstoppable small cooperatives network (as Cuca whole lives also in the neighborhood, we want to thank the push to start), and many more projects siblings everywhere. I hope that many more go! We also want to thank the Sosi, the Association of Residents of Old Town, to give us space.

Finally, a curiosity. Where does the name? We say "taste in" because we like the garden, of course. We also have asked that we call "the Bank" and "Old Town." The Bank is the ancient name of the neighborhood, which we vindicate his memory agriculture, when the "rec county" was not a street, but an irrigation ditch surrounded by orchards to his "bank."
