Welcome
Caerhys Organic Community Agriculture (COCA) is an unincorporated association whose members grow and share organic food in partnership with local organic farmers. It is based on mutual benefit and shared risk. As of February 2012 we have 40 members and we are aiming to reach 70 by this time next year.
Vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs are grown at Caerhys Organic Farm. Other items such as organic milk, cheese, meat and eggs can also be bought at the farm, but are produced on other organic farms nearby. When produce is unavailable at Caerhys we buy organic produce from sources as close to COCA as possible.
Members pay an annual membership fee at the beginning of the year and then a monthly share subscription. They receive a share of the produce weekly, (i.e. not a fixed quantity, but a share of whatever is harvested that week) and commit to supporting the farm and the farmers in both good times and bad. Members are also called “sharers” to emphasise what it is all about …. sharing!
