24.01.2022 Betsy in action! Orders close tomorrow: https://openfoodnetwork.org.au/prom-coast-food-co-op/shop #Repost @oakandswan_sourdough... First bake of new seasons spelt from incredible farmers Steve and Tan @burrumbiodynamics . Amazing. Thank you ! Dough was a little bit wet and sticky as you can see, (baker was a bit liberal with the water) but came up a treat afterwards. Silky smooth whole flour, milled yesterday. Internal ceiling brick temp on the oven at loading was 340, 325 at unloading after about 25 minutes. #burrumbiodynamics #spelt #wholegrain #freshlymilled #millyesterdaybaketoday #sourdough #woodfired #alanscottoven See more

24.01.2022 I love it - "You will never go to a charcoal chicken shop again". Orders open tomorrow! #Repost @mikeysbbqsafari Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Charcoal Chicken Tuesday. ... 2.5kg chicken from Mirboo Pastured Poultry. Seasoned with Lovebird from Basket Case Gourmet. Spun on the rotisserie over iron bark lump charcoal on the Weber kettle. Mmmmmmmm crispy skin and tender inside.

09.01.2022 The Anatomy of a Payment and the Ethics in your Order. Hint: There's no such thing as "free delivery". Ever wondered about the fees on the Collective? Let’s break this down. This particular order pictured is for a home-delivered order. Straight to your door from 2.5 hours away in South Gippsland! 1. Legendary status starts with this number.... 2. Admin fee this $5 is all that the Collective has to run the whole shebang. Insurance, accounting fees, website hosting, marketing etc all from here. 3. Shipping this is the amount which we use to pay our farmer/drivers. Did you know that the majority of the delivery drivers on the Collective are also farmers on the Collective? Sending them out on the long trips to Melbourne needs to be a paid gig otherwise our system will not be sustainable. 4. Transaction fee this is the fee from paying via our Stripe system (just like PayPal). 5. Total as in Total Legend. You’ve just helped strengthen the local food system and put money back into a regional community. You did it. If these fees didn’t exist, the Collective would not be able to pay our farmers the 90% of the retail dollar, which they currently take through sales on the Collective. Why 90%? 1% goes to our sales portal, the Open Food Network, and 9% goes to Amelia and Sally, who run the Collective. It’s a big gig and it is getting bigger. We thought about internalising the costs to make the payment section feel friendlier, but we wanted you to be aware of what it takes to get produce to your door. Oh, and there’s no such thing as free delivery, those costs have either been hidden from you, the customer, or the system operates on unfair or underpaid wages or volunteers. We as farmers and conscientious workers, will not abide by this. We’re female and farmer-led, feisty and fed-up with the current devaluing of food and farmers. So we did something about it. Put your ethics on the table: https://openfoodnetwork.org.au/prom-coast-food-co-op/shop

08.01.2022 It started like this, over 3 years ago now. A bunch of organic farmers met at the Blue Tree Honey Farm, we pitched the idea of the Collective, and it has been a living, breathing, ever-evolving thing since. In our first month, we took $8K in sales (we were delighted), now we are averaging over $20K weekly. People often ask how we successfully band together: leave the drama to the actors; always offer help when you see someone in need; do what you say you are going to do; eyes on the prize. And at the end of the day, you have access to the best organic food ever: https://openfoodnetwork.org.au/prom-coast-food-co-op/shop #wewantedanethicalalternativesowewentoutandcreatedone
