Stone Coop's Future Looks Bright!

12/20/2017

The end of the year at Stone Coop Farm has been hectic and exciting. We had a great brainstorming meeting in November, and we have been making changes every day since then. The bottom line is – Stone Coop Farm will be open  in 2018!!

​Here's a synopsis of our meeting, our game plan and our progress as of today.
​

We had over 40 people attend our brainstorming session on November 19th and because of this, we have a clear direction on how to keep Stone Coop Farm open!!

  • Sell more 2018 Market Shares starting in December - These are now on our website and ready to be purchased.
  • Sell Chef and Grocery Store Market Shares - Will have something ready in January.
  • Partner with a non-profit for grants and donations - Researching potential options right now.  Jess Heath knows exactly what to do and has graciously offered to help me with this!
  • Create our own non-profit and start fundraising - We just got our Articles of Incorporation for our non-profit this week!  THANK YOU Joe Falcone for making it happen! Next step, get bank accounts, write bylaws and establish a Board of Directors.
  • Expand our marketing and advertising - Mel Stewart and Jacky Bastion have developed a plan and strategy and changes are already being made. It's exciting to have these two professionals show me what a successful campaign can be!
  • Expand the events and classes we offer at the farm - Classes will be up on the website shortly.  We expanded our offerings for 2018 with SELCRA, Brighton Community Ed and Hartland Community Ed.
  • Expand our partnerships with other farmers and food producers - We have met with 3 new businesses and hope to get a plan in place for continued sales.
​​
THANK YOU for everyone who has expressed their support for Stone Coop Farm. The goodwill has been amazing! We are feeling loved and supported, and it encourages us to stay focused on a successful 2018.

We wish you all a wonderful holiday season!
