25.01.2022 It’s time to start saving all your empty jars, glass bottles, spray bottles, yogurt tubs, and anything else you can use to purchase your items in, once the Food Co-op is launched. We’re not sure exactly which products will be available yet, but if there’s something you’re really keen on buying package-free, let us know in the comments

22.01.2022 This little shop is what dreams are made of! We are inspired by this and look forward to taring your jars in the near future! https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1482814305239401

22.01.2022 Thanks to the team at Bunnings Coburg for donating our new platform trolley - which will help the team manage the Collective’s deliveries once we launch.

18.01.2022 A collective brings together a group of people working together because of a shared goal or interest. We adopted this model from the Brunswick Co-op and the Moon Rabbit food Collective in Preston. We love the models of these community groups which are supporting each other and becoming part of a bigger collective throughout Victoria. We hope to see a food collective in every suburb in the future! We are working on a product list and prices and will share once complete. In the mean time check out the Moon Rabbit website to get a flavor of the type of services we plan to offer, look forward to seeing you all when we open :) https://moonrabbit.org.au/bulk-foods-collective-plastic-fr/

17.01.2022 You may have done a short course at the Sussex Neighbourhood House at some stage in the past or you may even be a member, so you know how important they are in our community. Now you may consider getting more involved by joining the governance committee. Another way you can support local https://www.facebook.com/181194347625/posts/10158260468917626/?extid=KBgDiIkjTT4T2aBc&d=n

14.01.2022 Tupperware containers with lids are a good option for some products and calico bags are handy and easy to transport. Keep collecting your containers to be ready for when we can open.

10.01.2022 Tiny little name change and some exciting news... we've been working away in the background during Covid, and we've applied for a grant from Moreland Council to establish our Food Collective. Council officers have recommended the grant be awarded, and the Councillors are voting on this at their meeting on Wednesday night. Fingers crossed..!

09.01.2022 Our future home getting some renovations done. Can't wait to open!

09.01.2022 We are very excited to bring ethically and locally produced wholefoods to Pascoe Vale! We are dedicated locals looking for a fairer and package-free option to purchase staple pantry and laundry items. Watch this space for information when we will be able to start operating.

07.01.2022 Council have just voted to approve our grant, amongst others...! Exciting news.. we are well on the way...!

07.01.2022 Hi All, hope you are all keeping safe and well. Although we are unable to start operating as yet due to the current restrictions, in the meantime don’t forget to start collecting your spare jars or any other durable containers with lids. Product list will also be released. Watch this Space!

03.01.2022 Don't forget, you will need to bring your own containers to collect the produce so keep collecting your containers in anticipation of our opening. If you would like to be involved as a volunteer/member please get in touch: [email protected]
