Description:
In the spring of 2013, the owners of Valley Organics decided to sell their business. The four shop workers plus two others put together their savings, with help from friends and relatives. We issued loan stock for more funding, and with help from Co-operatives UK and a loan from ICOF, we bought the business and established a Workers' Co-op.
The shop has continued to thrive and promote eating and growing good local food. We now open longer hours and have two workers in the shop at all times.
