Workers who innovate are rewarded with a family visit to a restaurant, a beach vacation, or other valued recreation. The work is very difficult and the income quite modest, but there is high morale, and in good years the workers can afford a few amenities like television sets and bicycles. Organic Co-ops Purchasers, both institutions and individuals, come daily to the cooperative to buy fresh picked produce. Buyers are consistently found for the entire harvest, without overproduction and waste. This farm is a member of an association of organic vegetable cooperatives, which share information and support.
Some factories have their own organic gardens to supply quality food for their workers.
A city government central organization provides information, training, and technology, and coop leaders attend frequent training sessions. Availability of land is not an obstacle since the co-op uses otherwise unproductive land. Additional financing is needed, but is available and repayable from profits. The limited availability of animal waste for organic fertilizer is one obstacle. Scarcity of transport for getting food to market is another serious limitation.
