Bringing goods to sell as cottage industry

Members can bring in cakes, crafts, whatever they would like to sell, provided in does not conflict with the philosophy of the coop. Members need to contact the cottage industry person to check its ok and to make sure they understand the system. All food must be kept in containers with a lid.

Pricing

The member decides what price they would like to sell their goods for.

They are entitled to their normal discount and bulk order rates (whatever that is) when buying ingredients at the co-op.

The markup from the price we pay them, to the price it's sold for, is 40%. Multiply the wholesale price by 1.4 to find the retail price.

Paperwork

There is a book called the “Cottage Industry Book” in the pidgeonholes. Follow the instructions on the book, and fill out all the fields, in order to make everyone happy.
