RÉSEAU DES AMAP EN ÎLE-DE-FRANCE
The Association for the Maintenance of Agricultural Agriculture (Amap) is simply a partnership between one or more farmers and a group of consumers. In more than a dozen neighbourhoods in Paris and in different municipalities in Ile-de-France there are groups and very actively working the idea of Amap. Consumers join a group and choose with farmers, fruit and vegetables to grow, meat or fish, subscription prices and distribution modalities (places, frequencies, schedules). Each consumer purchases in advance his/her harvest share, depending on the season and the modalities defined in advance. In principle, in turn, a member is responsible for the distribution of the week. It installs crates and draws on a table the composition of the baskets. Each market is based on its order. Unlike other farmers'baskets, the commitment of producers and consumers takes place over a year, with a fair price of products. To find the addresses of the groups in your area, you must visit the Amap website.
