Hiho,

Cor-Jan from foodcoop.nl had the idea to organize a group order of organic food
ingredients for the camp from nearby farmers and organic wholesalers.

They could set up an order system so all the villages/participants who want to
prepare food for themselves can pick what they want to have and it'd be
delivered at the camp.  Would there be interest in this?

See more info below.
