Here is the Plan!
BULK is a small healthy locally owned grocery store which will serve West Oakland families. BULK will provide access to fresh fruit and vegetables, quality meats (fresh and frozen), bulk staples (oats, flour, chocolate, etc.), spices (salt, cumin, turmeric, etc.) and dairy products (Milk, cheese, butter, etc). Additionally, we will promote locally produced healthy products and provide job training for locals. We will not sell alcohol or cigarettes. We are hoping to start in the next year.
I grew up with a huge backyard, was encouraged us to be creative, to build and grow things, to experiment with Mud-pie recipes, dig holes for our own swimming pool, and plant and graft things. Now that I live in a house in the inner city, have access to my own dirt and am able to plant things I want to eat - my focus has changed. I see the minimal access that my neighbors have to fresh produce. I am still obsessed with playing in the dirt, but more so with its ability to feed the people...
