The Villiage Principles
Thirty principles on dealing well, read two ways. Not commandments and not a course — notes gathered over years of doing business, numbered so you can find them again.

The Villiage Ledger
Notes on Fair Dealings
A ledger is a record of dealings — what was given, what was owed, what was learned. This one holds what the Villiage knows about buying, selling, trading, partnering and building together. The Shopkeeper keeps it. You add to it.
What the Ledger holds
Two
The Account Book
Your own pages in the Ledger: who your customers are, what they like, what stands open, what has been settled — in money, in trade, or as a gift.

The Dealings
Living knowledge. A buyer discovered something. A trade went wrong. A partnership taught something. Members write it down, and the Villiage grows wiser than any one shop.

The Law of Pursuit
How does this change the way we deal with one another?
Read it in full →One co-op, many doorways
The Villiage is the global co-op: a shop, a tree and a ledger for anyone, anywhere. Digital goods — books, patterns, courses, music, plans — can be sold to every country today. Shipping goods across borders comes later.
