Love organic - the business model
Love Organic grows, sources and sells fresh fruit and vegetables fortnightly to local people in the New Forest region.
The orders are taken online but the payments are billed manually as the order has to be checked for availability before processing.
The goods are either delivered to homes, collected or picked up at various hubs across the region.
Ordering only - no online payments
Due to the nature of the business, orders can be taken online from pre approved customers, but customers are sent an invoice for BACS paymements after delivery.
The business requires people to register to be checked and verified by the business before they are able to order online. So there is a restriction on the booking for people placing orders.
Support Sustainable Farming
Supporting UK farmers and sustainable farming practices Love Organic continues to run a much loved and ethical business, serving the local community with delicious, organic, fresh food.
Summary
Love Organic started as a fresh fruit and veg market but has evolved into a successful online and offline organic and whole foods store.
The owner must check and verify all new customers before they can order to ensure they are in the local area and the business can meet the demand.
The owner also wants visitors to be able to order on the listings page, rather than having to go into the product page.
