Seeking warehouse space

[kirsten]

Ten Rivers Food Web is working to establish a local food aggregation and distribution warehouse with online ordering.  

Think of it like this, you’re an eater or restaurant looking to order locally produced food in 5 lb or box quantities.  You order and pay online, then swing by on our weekly pick up day.

We need help identifying viable additional locations.  Please email ideas to: foo...@tenriversfoodweb.org.

Essentials:

• 500-1000 square feet of space, of which 250 sq. ft. is permanently ours (for storing supplies, placing a freezer and potentially a small walk-in cooler) and the remainder is only needed on our active days (probably Tues-Wed or Wed-Thurs, but undecided at this point).
• At least five parking spaces available on our active days, and a dedicated space to park a truck daily.
• Public access to site on active days during business hours.
• Staff access to site during all business hours and 6am-10pm on active days.  (All hours access would be preferable.)
• Convenient truck access from major roads/highways
• A roll-up door large enough for a forklift/pallet jack
• A well-maintained, pest-free space suitable for food handling
• Access to a restroom and a commercial utility sink (or a site where we could easily install such a sink).
• Within 20 miles of Corvallis

Wishlist:

• A loading dock
• Public visibility (place we can install a banner/sign where it will attract attention)
• Indoor climate control
• On-site forklift that we could use
• Access to existing walk-in coolers and/or freezers
• On-site office space
• Convenient pedestrian/bike access

Thank you,
