Community & supply

Marketplace

Large lots and pallet-scale buys — think trading-post meets warehouse club: minimum quantities, better per-unit value, and room for neighbours to list co-op orders later.

This space is for big buys — not single bags off the shelf. We are modelling it on the idea of a warehouse club: you commit to a lot, skid, or truckload, and everyone saves a little on the unit price. Some lines are ours; in time, trusted neighbours will be able to post co-op style lots too — same simple rules, same trading-post honesty.

Community listings (coming)

We’re keeping the first version simple: curated sample lots below. Next step is a light submission flow so vetted neighbours can post bulk items — always with clear minimums and contact through Columbia Gardens.

Straight talk

  • Bulk means you’re buying the lot (or the agreed split) — not one unit off the pile.
  • Community listings will be moderated so what you see matches what you get.
  • Delivery, equipment, and supply can often be combined — ask when you call.
