Update: Feasibility Study In Progress

The feasibility study is under way! A contract has been signed with CDS Consultants to complete this by the end of the year. The findings will measure potential viability of a food co-op in our area, guide site selection, and help secure financing (likely a combination of member investments, member loans, and institutional lending). You can look forward to a report of findings in January 2011. This study was made possible through your donations and a grant from the North Dakota Agricultural Products Utilization Committee (APUC).

 

We need your help! Do you have any special talents or skills you'd like to share with us? Are you a great public speaker? Writer? Maybe you are a people person. Or have an eye for detail? Let us know and we'll find the perfect place for you. It takes many types of talents to pull together a project like this. Current needs include:

 

• a volunteer secretary for both the Coordinating Committee and Planning Committee 
• web site design and effective use of social media
• branding development
• people who have actively participated in other coops to help in our development
• identification of grants and other funding sources
