Phoenix Community Stores
The Phoenix Community Store is a community-owned business, and specialises in organic, local, Fairtrade and artisan foods and products, including farmhouse cheeses, organic local whisky, recycled stationery and Fairtrade clothing and music. There is also a bookstore and herbal apothecary on-site.
A local currency is in operation, the Eko, which was jointly introduced by Ekopia (the Findhorn Community's development trust), Phoenix Community Stores, the Findhorn Foundation, and the NFD (the trading arm of the Foundation) in 2002. The currency is accepted in most of the Findhorn Ecovillage organisations.[1]
