#186 Food Connect Comes To Phillip Bay!
Food Connect, a "community supporting agriculture (CSA) enterprise that connects farmers with city folk" has arrived at Phillip Bay. My wife and I are City Cousins from whom subscribers pick up their boxes of fruit and vegies each week.
Food Connect promises to source fruit and vegies from gowers so that it travels no more than five hours by road to their Sydney warehouse from which it is distributed to their City Cousins. Most of the victuals are souced from within a two to three hour drive.
Food Conect offers three sized of boxes priced at $35, $50 and $65 which can be bought weekly, fortnightly or otherwise.
In my enthusiasm two weekends ago I printed 100 leaflets and, with my grand daughter, did a letterbox drop to promote the concept to my neighbours.
I encourage you to consider signing up to Food Connect to reduce the kilometres your food travels from farm to kitchen as well as support local farmers.
Monday is the delivery day and subscribers who live in the 2036 postcode area can pick up their boxes from our place from 6:00 PM. Monday, February 15 is the first day so hopefully you can get on board by for next week's delivery.
