Does anybody know a roof repairer? We have a leak and have an old clinker brick house on Newlands estate.

Thanks,

Pies. Is there anything that they cannot do? If you are short on time...the AMAZING pies which we have on the Collective are the perfect Winter "stash-away" meal. Using only organic and pasture-raised meat, they are "ethical fast-food".

If you're a dab hand in the kitchen and make batches of your own pies, you could always pick up some diced beef, chicken thighs or lamb from us and don't forget the bio-dynamic flour from Oak and Swan for the crust! 

This month, we can offer a range of over 500 products to select from 15 small-scale farming families and makers. 
 
  • Oak and Swan Sourdough (freshly-milled flours and muesli and crackers)
  • Mirboo Farm (fresh garlic!)
  • Blue Tree Honey Farm (local honey and preserves)
  • Amber Creek Farm and Sawmill (pastured pork and smallgoods)

Why do we do what we do?
Click on this link to visit our online shop - 
openfoodnetwork.org.au/prom-coast-food-co-op/shop

We do what we do on the Collective as we do not want our food supply to be in the hands of corporations, who put profit before people, the environment and nutrition.


The concentration of power erodes diversity, shuts out small producers from the means of production and commodifies primary produce. 

The increased homogenisation of food is, well, boring. Put simply. Boring for your tastebuds, harmful to biodiversity, and downright devastating for rural and regional communities.

Supporting family farms directly mitigates against this. It really really really does. You are POWERFUL in your ability to use your consumer dollar more wisely. 'Local food' isn't new...it isn't a gimmick...food produced by farming families reduces food miles, food waste, encourages organic and regenerative land stewardship, invigorates communities and strengthens relationships in families, consumers and the relationship one has to what nourishes you. All food used to be this way.

Small tweaks often. Start shopping for food differently. One change at a time. Get to know one farmer per month by name and ask them how they're doing whilst you pick up your milk, eggs, bacon, apples, olive oil, cheese, chicken. 

You'll eat better and see the world differently. And don't we all want that?
