Why buy through a cooperative?

We are a non profit organisation and can offer our members lower prices than organic retailers. Members can further reduce the price by volunteering their time .

We buy at wholesale prices and add a ‘mark up’ to cover costs and extend buying capacity.  Our markup is about a third of a retailers.

The co-op gives customers the opportunity to control how much waste packaging they take home by providing food in bulk. You can bring your own containers.

Buying through the co-op is also a social event. We share and try new recipes, and enjoy beautiful food.

It is a friendly environment, free from advertising, bright lights and crowds.

The co-op is a community group that informs members of local issues and events.

Everybody has a voice at the co op. Come and have your say. Share your ideas and feel empowered to make a difference!

Volunteering

The best thing about being a member of a food co-op is that your level of involvement determines the price you pay. Depending on how much you've contributed your percentage mark up can be reduced significantly
