The Approach
A strange thing has been happening for years. Organic food has been made to seem elitist, out of reach, and just plain unavailable to most people. As a result, health disparities between communities that do have access to nutritious, organically grown foods and those that lack healthy choices, have increased faster than a runaway train.

By shortening the supply train and working directly with local farms, we are changing what it means to make healthy food accessible – especially to urban communities previously lacking the availability of choice.

Our idea to create a store where everyone would feel comfortable led us to design an environment highly compatible with urban living. This meant balancing an aesthetic appeal with a local lifestyle focus, partnering with urban farms, and offering a space that fosters community.

Enter the trains. The railroad theme that runs deeply through The Boxcar Grocer concept is rooted in the fact that trains are great connectors. They are a fact of modern society that can be appreciated by all ages, ethnicities, and genders. We were deeply inspired by the courageousness of people such as A. Philip Randolph and his organizing of the Pullman Porters. Reclaiming one’s dignity was an uphill battle back then but one that solidified a position of pride for many men who were once treated without respect for their work and their lives.

Eating organic food is so not special. If you travel outside this country to the most remote regions of the world where people have not heard of half the things that we in America think we need to have to survive, eating ‘organically’ is the norm. Subsisting on diverse foods grown in the immediate vicinity, by natural means, without reliance on pesticides is exactly how normal people live. When our grandparents were alive –and their parents before them– and they stepped out to get food, chances are they had plenty of good, old fashioned, organic food growing right in their own yard. And if your grandparents were anything like ours, they had significantly less money than you and I have right now, at this moment in time but still ate better than most of us eat today.

Our engagement with local farmers and our surrounding neighborhoods allows The Boxcar Grocer to be the connection that is sorely needed in many communities across America. It allows our communities to reclaim health by making it easier to make the right choices.

(Yes! Magazine)

You find each other online. After a brief exchange of messages, you both agree it’s a good match and arrange to meet in person to do the deed.

Before the appointment, you harvest some ripe tomatoes from your heavy vines and place them in a reusable shopping bag. Then you ride your bicycle to the appointed location, a community garden where your counterpart has a plot. You return home with your bag full of potatoes, zucchini and, as an unexpected bonus, an ear of sweet corn.

The matchmaker in this deal is VeggieTrader.com, which has enlisted more than 12,000 members since coming online in April. Prospective traders from all 50 states have prowled the site’s bright and whimsical pages, and now even some Canadians want to play, according to co-founder Rob Anderson of Portland, Ore.

Anderson and his wife, Tam Crawford, created Veggie Trader in response to a disturbing observation they shared.

“We looked around and saw all this food going to waste,” Anderson says, referring to gardens in his neighborhood. “With the economy the way it’s been, it’s a shame.”

Signing up and using Veggie Trader is free. To search for trading partners, plug in your zip code and the distance you’re willing to travel. The search results display who has what to trade, where they are, and what, if anything, they want in return. The most popular entry in the “what you want in return” category, Anderson says, is “whatever,” or “anything but (the item being offered).” This is telling.

“It’s not just about the veggies or fruit. There’s a social component. People are looking to connect with like-minded folks in their neighborhood,” Anderson says.

“I have cabbage, garlic, dill and in a few weeks, heirloom tomatoes,” reads one post. “All the vegetables are grown without pesticides or herbicides. I also have many cooking and gardening magazines to trade.”

Soon after VeggieTrader.com went up, it became clear that the site could disperse more than surplus produce. Before the growing season had even progressed to the point that anything was ready to harvest, there was already a brisk trade in seedlings. Since then, pictures of baby plants growing in their new homes have been exchanged, and plans made to share the fruits when the time was ripe.

The friendships Veggie Trader has catalyzed seemed already waiting to happen, and these relationships might become Veggie Trader’s most enduring accomplishment, long outlasting the shelf-life of perishable produce. And while it would be far from Veggie Trader’s intended purpose, it seems only a matter of time until romantic hook-ups are reported.

Right now Veggie Trader is a self-funded labor of love, but someday, Anderson hopes, he’ll figure out a way to convert the site into a day job. Will Veggie Trader get bought out by Google? Will users be required to pay commissions in strawberries and garlic? Will it register as a nonprofit and go for grant money? Anderson and Crawford are still chewing the possibilities for revenue generation, but for the moment the site is refreshingly free of advertisements, and doesn’t even display a way to donate.

The 12,000 members currently have a lot of open space between them, especially outside of major metropolitan hot-spots on both coasts. But like crickets singing their nocturnal songs in hopes of finding companionship, locavores are using Veggie Trader to broadcast their neighborly intentions. “Patty pan squash, some sunflowers, oregano, chives, thyme, potatoes soon,” a Coloradan announces. “If you don’t have anything now, send me a line. I’d like to know who else is out there!”

If only the New Orleans resident offering “pesticide-free Black Eyed peas” lived closer to York, Penn., where she could trade for “Epazote, an herb used by Mexicans when cooking beans. It helps to prevent gas.”

Having a community behind you makes a locavore diet a lot more diverse, interesting, and likely. There’s already a page on Veggie Trader devoted to cooperative gardens, in which neighbors can plan a shared garden in their community. Each member takes responsibility for a specific crop.

Anderson and Crawford are excited to watch, and help, as their site evolves organically to fill new niches as they appear. A few weeks ago they opened the site to farmers listing produce for sale. “It’s an interesting way for local farmers to advertise,” Anderson says.

Veggie Trader reminds me of something my friends and I have been doing for years, a mid-winter tradition we call the “Swap Meat.” It began as a way for fellow hunters to exchange sausages, jerky, and various cuts of our respective animals, but quickly evolved into an all-out barterfest where many forms of home-stashed food change hands. Pickles, jam, sauces, dried morels, frozen fruit, root crops from cold storage, and many other forms of preserved food are swapped in the frenzied and festive atmosphere of our swap meats. I wouldn’t be surprised to see get-togethers of this sort planned through VeggieTrader.com.

Along the same lines, equipment like dehydrators, steam juicers, pressure canners and vacuum sealers could be shared by industrious Veggie Traders or loaned to one another in exchange for a portion of the preserved product.

Anderson acknowledges that many of these possibilities have crossed their minds, and as long as they’re legal, the founding traders are open to them. With only a third of a year under its belt, veggietrader.com promises to be full of surprises, and he and Crawford are looking to the site’s users to provide ideas on where it should go from here. “We’re looking forward to what happens in the fall and winter,” Anderson says.

Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a new idea in farming, one that has been gaining momentum since its introduction to the United States from Europe in the mid-1980s. The CSA concept originated in the 1960s in Switzerland and Japan, where consumers interested in safe food and farmers seeking stable markets for their crops joined together in economic partnerships. Today, CSA farms in the U.S., known as CSAs, currently number more than 400. Most are located near urban centers in New England, the Mid-Atlantic states, and the Great Lakes region, with growing numbers in other areas, including the West Coast.

Mandela Foods Cooperative is a locally-owned and operated full-service grocery store and nutrition education center located in West Oakland, a community long underserved in grocery retail. The present undersupply of food retail in West Oakland represents an opportunity to leverage untapped local buying power into new business and employment opportunities and healthy eating options for West Oakland residents. The Cooperative will offer local goods, wholesome, fresh and affordable foods grown on family farms, nutrition education classes and a cooperative economic investment program that provides multi-level investment for community residents.

The Cooperative’s business model is designed to perform both financially and socially. From a financial perspective the cooperative is expected to generate a 26% return on investment within the first 5 years of operation. Social Return will be measured by:

• Direct and indirect support for new businesses in the immediate area through the Cooperative’s umbrella organization, Mandela Marketplace.

• Hours of entrepreneurial training and work experience for low-income residents working within the store’s cooperative ownership structure

• Total value of profit sharing at Peoples Community Partnership Federal Credit Union (West Oakland based)

• Total value of inventory purchased from small farms within a 170 mile radius of Oakland that do not otherwise participate in retail markets;

• Volume of wholesale distribution of produce and other fresh foods to local convenience stores

• Active participation in community services including operating market booth at senior centers, catering for local organizations and churches, and donations to emergency food programs]]> http://www.mandelafoods.com/html/about.html
