Bringing the bulk and the local to the villages is Julie’s initiative with her truck. The idea: to promote local products in regions lacking local shops. Brut followed her.
“There is a slightly absurd side which is even more accentuated in the countryside, which is to say that we have products that are produced locally, farmers, processors who are on site and that in fact, we continue for ease, by habit to go to a supermarket. “With her truck, Julie tries to democratize the bulk and the local in the villages. She is indeed keen to get out of all that is”big shops” and “large agrifood systems“. To do this, she works with small producers that she knows.”I know how they work, I know their commitment and who are in the vicinity of where I turn with the truck“, she confides.
His initiative is a success. At each of its passages, customers are there. “Finally, it becomes their meeting point, they know that once a week, I will be there and they meet again“, rejoices Julie. Also, this encourages people to go to zero waste.”Even people, especially in the villages, who were not at all in this process, take back the helping hand of as their grandparents did and they come, with their jars, with their tupperware.“, says Julie.
