We posted about our friends at Our Food Network (a local food resilience charity) last month - now, they need 100 households to sign-up for their weekly grocery boxes (starting in November!). 🔸

Starting in a few months, the co-op will put together weekly boxes of locally-sourced kai (with goodies like produce, nuts, eggs, milk, cheese, meat, baked goods, etc!). People who are signed up with the co-op would simply need to pick-up their boxes at The Bowling Club on Sundays. 🔸

If you'd like to sign-up for their pilot period (26 weeks of food boxes), you can review all terms & conditions & sign-up here: https://bit.ly/4vV0hX2 🔸

There is a $150 joining fee, and a two person box is from $40 a week. 🔸

The co-op is all about supporting local producers with a steady weekly market so that food growers & producers (like us) can continue to grow and keep on sharing kai with our community. 🧡

We are so excited to see how the co-op strengthens our community by making local foods more accessible, supporting local producers & generally supporting our local food economy! 🔸

We've linked the omnivore grocery box above, but there are also vegan, vegetarian & produce-only grocery boxes available (see links in comments below) 🔸

If you have any questions, please email [email protected]. 🔸
