ORGANIC ONLINE DELIVARY

COMMUNITY ORGANIC GREENHOUSE FOR ONLINE DELIVARY

Here are some possible setbacks I thought about the “green house” idea we have discussed
- I think people living in the suburbs working a 9 – 5 job, may find it hard to maintain there own crop eg, harvesting, planting seeds etc
- Realistically, I feel that people are lazy, don’t have enough hours in the day as it is, and feel they want something quick and convenient in a service
- People don’t like to wait
- If crops were not growing at a consistent level, for example because of weather conditions, lack of sunlight in certain crop area etc, people may return to their own supermarket for convenience as opposed to waiting for crop to grow therefore defeats the purpose
- If people were to visit more than once a week on an average basis, that’s adding to fuel consumption also

Nevertheless, I think it is fantastic how we are trying to establish a community social life… therefore in addition to this, the already built warehouse we proposed earlier would comprise of organic crop and organic products, however would be sold online from the community greenhouse, and could be perhaps delivered in electric or hybrid cars within the community.
This way, we would be saving TIME and OIL CONSUMPTION for our customers who don’t have much spare time, eg working parents, single mum, part time working student, studying full time
I researched organic supermarkets online… I was shocked to find everything such as organic toilet paper to nappies, cleaning and household products, pastas, wines, sweets… you name it… it seems like you can get anything organic these days!

As I live in the suburbs, I feel people within the eastern suburbs have a lot of backyard area… consequently have enough backyard space to create fresh crop within there land space… I think people in my area would do this if they were given extra hours in the day, however, online organic shopping is something they can perform during working hours…
