REKO Process
Each week/second week (depending on agreement between producers), an event is created notifying participants of the group of the next meet up.
Producers post their offerings and consumers place orders in the comments. Producers choose which delivery events they are able to participate in, and the quantities available for sale.
Producers are responsible for collating their own orders and collecting payment.
The REKO model relies on every producer to respond to and collate their orders. Orders not fulfilled may cause consumers to abandon the REKO Ring at the detriment of all producers involved.
Each sales advert must start with the date of delivery, products on offer and a brief description of the growing/raising/manufacturing process.
Customers comment on each producers post with their orders.
All transactions are between the producer and consumer directly. All goods are pre-ordered.
By commenting, consumers are committed to paying for their order at the discretion of the producer involved.
