Together we are regenerating our farming and food system by connecting producers, enabling shorter supply chains and increasing the market for organic food products.

ORICoop Foundation Members

In March 2017, ORICoop was formally registered as a Co-operative in Victoria, and the ORICoop Board appointed. We were encouraged by the support we received in our Pozible campaign, and welcomed over (50+) foundational members, and raised over $12,000 (of our $10,000 goal).

Here are our ORICoop Foundational members, and we thank them for their support in these early stages of our formative journey.

Thanks especially to …
