\\nBuying clubs?
\\nIt\'s one of the options that doesn\'t get talked about a lot. But it\'s the focus of this episode.
\\nIn this episode I am talking with Sheri Salatin of Polyface Farms about Polyfaces Metropolitan Buying Clubs.
\\nIn their words they describe buying clubs as a a local food distribution system that combines the real-time interfaces of online marketing with community-based interaction. These kinds of interfaces, without bricks and mortar, using the internet, create efficiency and economies of scale in local food distribution.
\\nSheri goes into a lot of the specifics about their buying club and talks about how she grew Polyface\'s buying club from 30 customers to over 6000. 30 to over 600.
\\nHow they manage their inventory

If you don\'t know much about buying clubs now, you will leave this episode knowing a lot about buying clubs.
