This page answers frequently questions about community bottling events in the TEIKEI network.
A bottling event involves bringing olive oil in larger quantities to a specific location and bottling it together.
The event is tied to a community, a pickup location, or a specific meeting.
A bottling event is a communal moment where olive oil is not pre-bottled and distributed individually.
Instead, a larger quantity of olive oil is brought to a specific location.
There, the oil is bottled, distributed, and made visible together.
This makes the journey from the farm through logistics to the community more tangible.
Bottling events are planned for larger containers.
Possible sizes include:
Which size is suitable depends on the community, the location, participation, and logistical planning.
You participate in the bottling event via the Agora marketplace.
There, the event is made visible as a dedicated pickup location or as a dedicated event location.
You select this location and take on your share of the bottling event.
This makes it visible how much olive oil has already been collectively committed to for this specific event.
No.
A bottling event is a special form of joint distribution.
It is tied to a specific location and a specific event.
The regular olive oil harvest share continues through the usual channels in the Agora marketplace.
Yes.
A dedicated listing can be created for bottling events, for example:
Olive oil for bottling events
For the first test, this listing can initially be limited to one variety.
The olive oil from Panos is planned first.
Additional varieties can be added later once the process works smoothly.
A tank must be fully planned.
If a 400-liter tank is used, it must be clear beforehand how these 400 liters will be covered.
The same applies to 600 liters or 1000 liters.
The tank size therefore determines how many shares must come together for the event to take place safely.
Yes, in principle you should be able to take on your personal share of the bottling event.
However, it is important:
The event only works if the entire tank quantity is collectively covered.
Your share is therefore part of a larger collective quantity.
This question must be clearly regulated before each bottling event.
Possible solutions include:
Which solution applies must be communicated transparently in advance for each bottling event.
This is due to logistics, product safety, planning, and costs.
A tank is planned as a transport unit.
If the quantity is not fully covered, an open question arises:
Who takes on the olive oil that is not yet directly assigned?
Therefore, it must be clarified before the start of the event how to handle a quantity that is not reached.
No.
Bottling events are not intended as one-time orders.
They require a clear community logic.
Members collectively cover a specific tank quantity and participate in a specific event.
One-time orders would make this planning unclear.
This must be decided on a case-by-case basis.
In principle, it should be visible in good time whether the required quantity will be reached.
If the quantity is not yet fully covered, the event can be extended.
It is important that all participants are informed early enough.
Clear communication should be provided for bottling events.
This includes, for example:
The exact notification logic must be set up depending on the marketplace and event.
A bottling event requires people on site who take responsibility.
This includes, for example:
The event should only start if it is clear on site who will handle these tasks.
Simple and clear materials are helpful.
For example:
The communication should make it clear:
This is about a collectively supported bottling event.
The quantity is not ordered anonymously but taken on as a community.
This depends on the specific event.
It is possible that you should bring your own clean containers.
It is also possible that suitable bottles, canisters, or other containers are provided on site.
The organizers will inform you in advance what applies to the respective event.
Before starting, at least these points should be clear:
A bottling event is particularly suitable for communities that want to organize more than just a delivery.
It is suitable for locations where people come together, share responsibility, and want to make the supply visible.
A bottling event can be a practical, social, and connecting moment.
The exact technical implementation in the Agora marketplace is still being reviewed.
These questions are particularly important:
This page will be updated once the processes are clearer.
A bottling event is a community-supported olive oil event at a specific location.
Members collectively take on a larger tank quantity.
The event requires clear communication, an appropriate tank size, responsible people on site, and a transparent regulation for the case that the required quantity is not reached.
