The Organic and Regenerative Investment Co-operative (ORICoop) is calling out to volunteers (Barmy Army) interested to lend a hand in the short and long term recovery from the horrific floods across NSW and QLD. Are you interested to get your hands dirty, to work hard, and to have a direct effect on farmers affected by this natural disaster?
We want organic producers to have a community of passionate supporters around them - that will stand with them beyond this tragedy and the long months ahead. And support them back on their feet to producing healthy food. We are critically aware of the difficulty for existing certified organic producers affected by 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 it's needed most.
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.
