Operation Food Freedom Wageningen

About Operation Food Freedom Wageningen

Operation Food Freedom Wageningen is part of local2local. This organization is committed to shortening the food chain and bringing people closer to the farmer.

People order a package of fresh fruit and vegetables from farmers in the Netherlands who receive a fair price and can thus work towards sustainability. They can pick up this package every Wednesday at the Superette in Wageningen.

Volunteers are active to ensure this runs smoothly. This looks like this:
Wednesday morning (between 9-11): Someone waits in the Superette for the van that will bring the crates of fruit and vegetables and takes them inside.
Wednesday afternoon (12:00-14:00): A group of volunteers divides the vegetables and fruit over the number of packages ordered.
Wednesday afternoon/evening (5:00 PM - 7:15 PM): Customers come to pick up their package. A list is used to keep track of who has picked up the package.
