Joy & Hope Workshop

        

       In 1999, Joy & Hope Bakery was established by a group of disabled people who hoped to build a company which stood by the notion of a self-sufficiency. In 2007, the international financial crisis had brought the price of wheat to a sky rocket high. The Joy & Hope Workshop grew its own local wheat and established the Joy & Hope Contracted Farmers' Group, which opened an opportunity for the re-introduction of wheat plantation in Taiwan. In 2011, in the hope to encourage farmers to take part in crop rotation and activate soil fertility, the Joy & Hope Soybean Team was established. Furthermore, in order to push government agricultural agencies to change Taiwan's fallow agriculture policy, in 2012, the Joy & Hope Grain Club was established to accomplish the dream of a farming village with crops of diversity. A notion which brought new life to the high manpower dependent sesame crops. In 2013, officially integrated the production of bread with agriculture products and became Joy & Hope Workshop, another name for Joy & Hope Community Cooperative.

•The definition of a community: The word Community originated from the Latin word Communis, which means a group or sharing the same relation or feelings(Cheng, 1979). A Community is divided into three major elements, such as residential space, life style, and social interaction(F. Tonnies).

   We categorized Joy & Hope Community Cooperative as a community which has a cooperative relation and share the same goal in lifestyle.
•Method: Get to know your community, its history and cultural environment, get to know your farmers and your crops (food).

•Relation: (Producer+Processor+Consumer+Service Provider)*Make promises to each other= Joy & Hope Community Cooperative
