If you're reading this, you might have recently landed here. The Academy is organised by topic, so the good stuff stays findable. It's members-only and we're confident that over time we can build real depth here together. Three quick things to do: 1. Read the community guidelines (pinned just below this post). They're about what this space is for and how we keep it useful. 2. Introduce yourself in the '👋 Start Here' category. Even a couple of lines helps everyone get a sense of who's around. 3. Post something useful — a question, an idea, a win, anything. The first few posts set the tone, so don't be shy. Please note: this isn't the place for Ooooby platform support/feedback. If something's broken, or you've got a billing or account question, please email [email protected] or use the green button on your admin dashboard. You'll get a faster, proper answer and we can look into your specific setup privately. The whole team are looking forward to seeing what we can build together in this new community.☺️

This is a space for the farms and food businesses in the Ooooby community to learn from each other and share what works. Whether it's packing techniques, pricing, navigating a tricky delivery week, or a win worth celebrating, this is where we swap the knowledge that makes all of us better at what we do. A few simple things to keep it useful for everyone: • This is for learning and sharing. Post your questions, ideas, experiences and wins. The most valuable thing you can do here is be generous with what you've learned. • Be kind and assume good faith. We're all running hard businesses on thin margins. A bit of grace goes a long way. • Post in the right place. Use the categories so people can find things later. Not sure where something goes? Just pick the closest fit. • Keep it relevant. No spam, and no selling unrelated products or services. • Need help with the Ooooby platform? The Academy isn't the support desk. For anything that's broken, or any billing or account question, contact support at [email protected] or via the green button on your Ooooby admin dashboard. Got feedback about Ooooby itself? The best route is as above - [email protected] or use the green button on your Ooooby dashboard. This way it reaches the right person. Spot something that doesn't belong? Use the three-dots menu to report a post, or DM one of the admins. Thanks everyone.☺️

Welcome 🌱 This is the best place to start. Whether you've just arrived or you've been around a while, post a quick introduction in this category. It makes the community more useful for everyone, and it's the easiest way to find others doing similar things. A few prompts if you're not sure what to say: • Your business - what you do, and where you're based • How long you've been at it • One thing you're hoping to learn or figure out • One thing you might be able to help others with No need to write loads, a few lines is plenty. Looking forward to meeting you.

Hi all, we've got a free ticket to Groundswell to give away to an Ooooby user, complete with a free camping pass for two nights. Groundswell is THE regenerative agriculture festival: two days of workshops, seminars, in-field demos, and plenty of fun in the (hopefully) sun. You can find out more at https://www.groundswellag.com/ It's also a chance to meet the Ooooby team in person. Between the talks and workshops, we'd love for you to spend a bit of time with us on our stand, and maybe even sport one of our brand-new Ooooby T-shirts. (No pressure 😊) If you're free on the 1st and 2nd July and would like to experience Groundswell, drop me a direct message here or email me at [email protected]. First to get in touch bags the ticket!

I’ve not box packed in over a year, good to practice occasionally while covering employees time off. Took me 3 hours to do 52 boxes. Super slow, but the ones I timed without distractions took 1 minute each, without accounting for any restocking or fridge trips. In two weeks time I’m covering the whole 150 boxes, with zero childcare help, but I do have 3 days to do it if needed, but ideally 2. We’ve only been in this space since Christmas, it needs some tweaking, it’s an old stable. We were in a shipping container before, which was the fridge and pack room all in one, and before that a marquee. First on my list will be to self level the concrete floor so crate dollys roll better to the fridge, which is the stable next door. We pack 16 boxes and then roll them round. We have a very specific way they get packed onto the trolleys so they are easy to load into the van at 5am. I’ll let you know how in the comments!
