LocalOrganic

Local Organic Veggie Box

Behind a house in Brunswick

Local Organics is a localised food system offering retail and wholesale produce directly from Victorian farmers. They believe a great food system is based on relationships and realities and work directly with farmers to buy produce that conventional food systems may reject.
Their philosophy is based around the concept that food is a central human activity and how they grow, distribute and prepare it shapes our health, land and culture. They believe that we broaden the values of the current food system and offer the whole community (growers, eaters and workers) what the current food system lacks; inclusion, connection, seasonality, high nutrition, education, environmental sustainability and celebration.
