This week on our own dumpling odyssey, we began selling fresh momos from the much-loved Himalaya Tibetan Tent.

On July 1st, eleven years ago at our old warehouse in Beavers Road Northcote, Fair Food received its very first order.

On Thursday Fair Food grocery orders were delivered to our Food Host pick-up points for the last time. A huge thank you to all our incredible hosts who have given their time and shared their verandahs with us over the last eleven years!

In times of trouble we seek sanctuary and in weeks like these CERES, more than ever, feels like a Mother Tree.

So much happening around CERES during this wintery weather! From firewood and awards for Fair Wood, to our waste-free beetroot curry workshop, and Joes Garden Feathery Fundraiser (complete with bird-themed dress up) at the farm gate. Busy season!

My own failed veg box experience was years of composting the limp beetroot and yellowing cabbage my family didn’t eat and feeling a kind of “veg box shame”.
