member). But there will be no compulsory tools here - it will be your decision how you use these tools. 7.
Can we recruit suppliers of artisanal alcohol?
Yes, definitely. We just ask that the Member who picks up alcohol is over 18 years of age. And we’d suggest - unless you have a particularly dedicated FarmDrop - that they might be a Guest Producer, who attends on a less frequent basis. 8. I have already applied online - when the does the interview take place? Once you have applied you will receive an email to say we have it - and a further email to say we have checked the docs. At this point you receive a link to a diary - and you can book a time that works for you. 9. Do you think this would work in London?
Re:- connection with producers?
It definitely will work in London. I think the important ingredients are a healthy number of Members and some excellent producers, who supply something a lot better to what people are interested in. 10. How many producers in Scotland central belt? We donít have a large number of producers in Scotland, but there are a few interested groups around Edinburgh, including a restaurant who already has great relationships with nearby producers. We have a good relationship with a number of important farming organisations and we expect to have over 500 producers signed up by early summer. I think it is important to emphasise that we see this as a joint task, so we would expect each Keeper to find 50% of their farmers/Producers. 11. How secure is the site? what T&C's will re-assure users/producers that you wont sell their data? The site is very secure. We have a number of measures in place to ensure the safety of the data and the maintenance of a fully functioning platform 24 hours every day. We really aren't interested in selling our customers data, and want to encourage all activity to take place on the platform. At the moment our privacy policy states that if you don't want your personal details to be shared with producers or third parties you can let us know. However, we will be shortly updating our privacy policy and will make this request "opt-in" rather than an "opt-out" to make our intentions clearer. 12. Which bank? are they ethical? At the moment we bank with HSBC, but we are trying to work out how to move to Triodos. The only thing holding things back is functionality between our site, the accountancy software we use (Xero) and the payments provider (Mangopay). But we’re pretty sure that this won’t provide any obstacles.
