Venture Partnerships

For decades we have been eagerly consuming cheap foods transported long distances. The result has been that local production and culture has become diluted. The major contributing factor to this unsustainable system of production, transportation and consumption is cheap fuel. Heightened public interest in local heritage combined with dwindling fossil fuels has created an environment where it is becoming more viable to produce goods locally again. However, contemporary governance and lifestyle have diminished much of the knowledge and skills required to sustain small scale local production. Government, council and industry regulations and standards, designed to regulate large business and protect the public, have been applied across the board becoming a hindrance to small rural production. At Reidsdale Rural Enterprises, we hope to level the playing field a little, by providing emerging and existing small scale rural producers with modern production facilities that meet all the regulations, training and advice, and the benefits of group marketing.

The flexibility of our venture partnership agreements allows them to be tailor made to suit the individual requirements of the stakeholders. Services such as kitchen hire and design work is charged pro-rata. Training and testing will be priced to suit with some services outsourced to relevant experts. An annual membership will be administered to join our marketing network. Individual marketing potential will be increased by co-operatively marketing under the Braidwood Made brand, By building a quality range of products, we will be able to provide a broader customer experience that will enable individual participants to attain sustainable returns. In some instances, we may be able to offer venture partners the option of paying for our facilities and services with a share of their produce. This will encourage the set up of small scale production with minimal outlay for the producer.
