Vision

We seek to establish a vibrant, member-run artisan cooperative shop in
Tapawera, offering a diverse range of high-quality products, including:

• Quality arts & crafts
• Local fresh produce 
• Flowers, seeds and seedlings 
• Processed or preserved food that meet legal requirements

The shop will sell products made or grown by the people of Tapawera and
its surroundings, and will also be a central location for enabling affiliated
community services (i.e. vege box scheme, etc) creating a sense of community
pride and belonging.

The desired outcome for this project is to provide a space for social interaction
and connection, while also playing a crucial role in the local economy and
contributing to Tapawera’s reputation as a vibrant and creative community.
