JustTrade is a not-for-profit co-operative which enables its members in
Lewes, East Sussex to buy quality foods with the emphasis on organic,
fair-traded and locally sourced products. There is also an extensive
choice of eco-friendly cleaning and personal care items.
Members choose from an order form listing 300 products which includes
local honey, organic apple juice and Sussex cheeses. Most items are
ordered in bulk amounts although several items (and all local products)
are available individually.
Orders are taken every second month and delivered to a central location where they are sorted by members on collection night.
JustTrade exists to help promote ethical consuming and expand your choices of where and how to shop.
Membership of JustTrade is open to all and costs £6 per year.
Lots of products (such as our soya milks) are packaged in Tetrapaks. There are now facilities to recycle these cartons at Spring Garden car park mini recycling centre in North Street. These have been provided by the Tetrapak company. Please use this facility otherwise our rather unenthusiastic council (they're still not promoting this addition to the recycling available themselves) may allow it to be lost through underuse!
If you would like to join JustTrade in Lewes or if you would like help to set up a food buying group in your town (it’s pretty easy and a good earner for you or your local group) then please feel free to contact us or download a copy of How to set-up a successful food-buying-group with JustTrade
JustTrade is one of several projects initiated by Lewes based community development organisation Common Cause Co-operative.
