Everyone shares the workload for the benefit of the whole. Members want to get their food in an honest and social way and seek sustainable, local sources. We all put in a few hours every other month and enjoy the benefit of organic, vegetarian, local food at wholesale prices with a 5% markup. The markup covers costs such as breakage, internet banking fees, website, and investments such as deposits
on roll containers. Orders are placed in bulk monthly and the pick-up day is the last Friday of the month. VOKOMOKUM is growing collective of diverse people who want to get their food in an honest and social way. Each member does their bit - based on the model of a workers or consumers co-op. VOKOMOKUM is not just a pick up point for what you have ordered online. We are a hands-on community of committed members. This is an important aspect of the 'voko' - it is not just about getting good food, but also about community and interdependence. What can you expect from being a member of VOKOMOKUM? You will be part of a network of people from diverse backgrounds with diverse skills. Together we create a social way to get food from sustainable, local sources. By sharing our work, we all enjoy good quality organic, vegetarian, local food at almost wholesale prices. Only members can order. To become a member you need to attend an orientation. These take place on the last Sunday of the month (check next VKMKM day for times). A non-refundable membership fee [€10 per adult per household max €50] will be added to your first bill. Before and after orientation you will have the chance to see how everything works, meet other members and take a look at the products. Due to lack of storage space at Plantage Dok members are expected to collect their order on the pick up day or arrange someone else to collect the order. All members are expected to join a work group and do a shift every other month to evenly distribute the workload and to familiarize themselves with how the co-op runs. People can also contribute their time and talents in other ways such as providing help with IT issues, finding new sources for food, administrative assistance, etc.
