Tables for: 1, 2, 4 or 6 Maximum 30 people - numbers are strictly limited to ensure a good conversation and exchange of information
This is an information and discussion evening. It will help us decide how to take the next steps to set up a food co-op that will be able to supply all of Chippendale's food needs, cut climate change, buy from local farmers and support local businesses. The information may be used to help you buy food from farmers and set up your own food arrangements anywhere.
We will hear from Robert about:
- the legal framework for Food Connect and how the business has grown in three years to over 900 boxes a week and a weekly turn over > $38,000
- how to ensure the co-op cannot be bought by a chain store
- the design of the box packing system
- how equity and money and decisions are made and achieved
- some fundamental things to aim for eg the co-op is not for sale
- how Food Connect finds and sustains relationships with over 60 farmers
You'll be amazed at what Food Connect has achieved in Brisbane: www.foodconnect.com.au

For example, eating the average soul food meal stays with the average person 2 to 3 hours longer than Chinese food. And it stays up to an hour longer than Italian food, which came in second place in this University of California study gourmet ingredients Wide range of gourmet cooking ingredients and speciality French food gifts at our UK online store.
