About
Help us bring fresh produce to Catskill, NY!
A hundred years ago, Main St. Catskill had more than a dozen grocers and butchers.
EAT Co-op is an attempt to address these local (and global) issues, by participating in a replicable model for providing food security. A co-operatively owned community grocer, kitchen & cafe, EAT will prioritize the needs of farmers, workers & consumers while giving back to local regenerative agricultural projects.
But we need your help ~
EAT is a small scale co-operative & communally owned grocery store, providing fresh, local or organic foods to main street, while also highlighting and giving back to regional regenerative farm projects, by offering commercial kitchen rental and cafe access to farmers and makers.
Our goal is to raise $22,222 to ensure our first year is a success :
1. Securing our space : Deposit = 3 * Rent ( 7,000 )
2. Liability Insurance : 1,000 - 2,000
3. Equipment Insurance : 1,000 - 2,000
4. First month's rent : 1,800
5. Website Development, Printing & Marketing Costs : 1000
1. Commercial Freeze Dryer : 6,000
2. County / Municipal Administrative Fees : 300 - 700
(Certificate of Occupancy, Commercial Kitchen Certification, Garbage Collection etc.)
3. Sign Production : 500 - 1000
4. Fair Compensation for Labor : 3000
5. Advertising & Outreach : 500
EAT would be a fiscally sponsored Earth Arts initiative under our 501(c) 3 until 2024, when it will become a separately established not for profit organization. EAT is a small scale co-operative & communally owned local grocery store, providing fresh and dried local or organic foods to main street, while also highlighting and giving back to regional regenerative farm projects, by offering commercial kitchen rentals and cafe access to farmers.
