Democrasea!
We started SoleShare to make sure fishermen get paid a fair price for their fish and our members could get their hands on the good stuff before it got packed away in a freezer.
We understand we do things differently from most businesses that are cropping up these days. 'Nope, you don't get to choose what you're having and yes, you have to come and pick it up'. But that's only because we know that both of those things make SoleShare what it is.
For our first season we teamed up with Cath and all the other lovely people at Unpackaged. Sadly, this trailblazing store recently closed down and we've been on the hunt for similarly nice people to work with. What we thought would be a struggle turned out to be the opposite.
We ended up with five different locations across East London that were keen to collaborate and because we're pinko, egalitarian dreamers we thought we'd ask you, the people to decide which three spots we should use.
And this is what you decided. So from mid March, we'll be at:
Hackney City Farm 1a Goldsmiths Row. E2 8QA
The Towpath Cafe 36 De Beauvoir Crescent on the Regents canal (at the Whitmore bridge)
Mother Earth Shop & Cafe 101 Newington Green Road. N1 4QY
We'll be opening up membership very soon with our first pick-ups starting the week of March 16th. If you haven't already, sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear when (the strictly limited) membership officially opens.
