By working together, SOL’s producer members can offer customers a wider range of vegetables in greater quantities to customers than they could individually
• SOL has established a wide customer base in Somerset and further afield, including Bristol and Wiltshire

SOL members can order SOL produce wholesale to complement their own vegetable boxes
• Use SOL produce to fill the gaps in your own production
• Trade with other members of sol

Members share the costs of distribution and administration
• SOL keeps distribution costs low and reduces the book keeping requirements of individual members
• SOL gives members a clear picture of the market potential and sales analysis, vital information for planning cropping and scale of production

On an informal basis members share resources, ideas and information, labour and machinery, joint purchasing of plants and materials, as well as planning the year’s crops
• Members spread costs and become more efficient
• SOL encourages mutual support
