An exciting new chapter is unfolding in Whittlesea, with the launch of The Whittlesea Fresh Food co-op.
Operating from 76 Laurel Street, members can access affordable, seasonal, and freshly harvested produce each week or fortnight.
A full box of vibrant fruit and vegetables costs only $25, while a half box is just $15– providing a budget-friendly way to fill your fridge with the best local farms have to offer.
Every box is thoughtfully packed with a rotating selection of fresh, seasonal produce, ensuring members enjoy variety and quality throughout the year.
But the co-op delivers more than fresh food.
Membership, which is just $10 a year, also unlocks access to a range of free workshops, covering household budgeting advice, cooking classes,”Best of the box” recipes,thrift hacks, herb- growing tips,and more– empowering households to make the most of every dollar and ingredient.
Supported by the Victorian Government’s Community Support Fund, the Whittlesea Fresh Food Co-op is about strengthening community connections, supporting local farmers, and promoting healthy, sustainable living.
It’s an opportunity to save money, learn new skills, and be part of a thriving local food movement– all while enjoying delicious, farm-fresh produce grown just around the corner.
Whether you’re passionate about good food, keen to shop local, or simply looking to stretch your household budget a little further, the Whittlesea Fresh Food Co-op is ready to welcome you.
It’s food for thought– and food for your table.
