25.01.2022 It was a beautiful evening to hang out in the Source Garden before heading to the kitchen for Culture Club. Thanks to everyone who came and shared water kefir ...(and grains), beer and elderflower syrup concoctions, seedlings and onion marmalade (and for those brave enough to try the cashew "camembert" we prepared the previous month!). It was also great to hear your stories and learn about your experimenting. We are looking forward to trying Nico's Herb Beer next month and hearing how experiments in water kefir go after the inspiring session from Lauren. The smell of roasting barley for our next batch of beer lingers on... See more

23.01.2022 Thanks so much for your interest in Source! You may have noticed our cafe and wholefoods store are currently closed; but please be assured that a number of volunteers are working hard behind the scenes to restore our operations as soon as possible. Our messages are also managed by volunteers and as such, will be replied to personally as soon as we are able to; generally within 48 hours. The more people who choose to come along and help, the sooner our vibrant hub of community... connection can begin to serve people again. We are developing a new direction based on sociocratic principles, so if you would like to get involved in volunteering, we would love to have your help! Please drop in to any of the following helping bees or discussion circles to join in bringing Source back to its joyful best. (*note that there may currently be disruption to in person working bees and circles due to COVID-19 measures, but they will continue to run as online gatherings. Please message us here to have your name added to the email list for inclusion in circles!) Garden Helping Bees - Tuesdays 10 til 2 Garden Discussion Circles - Tuesdays fortnightly @ 12.30 Cafe/Kitchen/Store Discussion Circles - Wednesdays fortnightly @ 11 Events Discussion Circles - Fridays fortnightly @ 12pm Of course, you are welcome to come and sit in the Source outdoor space any time - as long as you shut the gates after you to keep the possums and wallabies out of the garden!!

Thanks again for your interest and understanding and we look forward to seeing you at one of our circles or working bees, soon.

07.01.2022 BULK FOODS CO-OP NEWS: Dear Sourcies. While the cafe space is still under reconstruction, we have started trialing a scaled-down bulk wholefoods co-operative system, running out of the shipping container, once a week on Fridays from 2-4. We hope this scaled down system will allow more affordable prices of everyones most commonly used staple wholefoods, like oats, flour, lentils and oil. There is a limited range of products at the moment, but we will be doing a fresh order ...soon. Some of the items currently available are listed in the pictures below, plus theres quite a lot of herbs, spices and tea. There will be a poll posted here soon to find out the most popular items for us to order. Bulk-pre-orders of items, like sacks of flour and 20l tins of olive oil will also be available in the coming months. Bring your own jars and bags to fill. Eftpos will be available, as well as membership discounts and opportunities to volunteer for active membership. Hope to see you there and look forward to developing the system over the next few months!
