About Us

Our mission is to do good at every step along the food supply chain

We support Victorian farmers, grocery makers & suppliers and stick with them through the seasons

We employ people seeking asylum, new arrivals and others who are doing it tough

We work with over 70 neighbourhood Food Hosts, building human scale connections in our community

We use returnable boxes, compostable bags and pack your produce with minimal waste

All our profits help CERES teach kids and adults how to take good care of our planet
