Organic and Biodynamic Farmers who need a hand beyond the Flood disaster
The Organic and Regenerative Investment Co-operative (ORICoop) is calling out to volunteers interested to lend a hand in the short and long term recovery from the most recent floods.   Are you able or interested to get your hands dirty and have a direct positive effect on farmers affected by this natural disaster?

Our desire is to enable organic producers to have a team of passionate supporters around them - that will stand with them beyond this tragedy and the difficult months ahead.  And support them to get back on their feet to producing healthy food.   We are keenly aware of the difficulty for existing certified organic producers affected by other natural disasters and their long road to recovery, both physically and emotionally.  We are keen to bring those that have been directly impacted, together with a team of keen helpers, that can lend a hand when the time is right and it's needed.  

ORICoop is founded on the principles of Co-operative values, members helping others, preserving and enhancing certified organic farmland and localised community based food production systems.  True Cooperative principles are around caring about our communities in times of need, and looking beyond our own needs in difficult times.
