Why do we do what we do?

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?

"If something isn't done now, you won't be drinking Australian milk, you just won't be."

We've made supporting local easy...

"If something isn't done now, you won't be drinking Australian milk, you just won't be." A recent ABC article stipulates that in 1980 there were 22,000 dairy farms in Australia and today there are fewer than 6,000...

We need to support "better dairy".

Dairy from small farm holders, families who farm, cows on pasture, glass bottles, cheese made from this milk. It's as simple as that. Cheap food, including dairy, is an illusion. You pay for it somewhere: with your health, the welfare of animals and the environment, or the poor livelihood of the farmers.

If we don't support families like Tarago Valley (Sophia and Caroline Jones pictured below!) and the Butterfly Factory, then your choice of dairy for you and your family will diminish and disappear. It will.

Please make your consumer $ count and reintroduce real, beautiful, organic, grass-fed milk, yogurt and cheese back into your life.
