Food Coop
A taster of Zero Waste & Food coop at the Eco Christmas Market
Some of our members get together every two to three months to make a bulk order from an Organic Foods wholesaler. On the delivery day we get together to split and weigh up the products. This is an excellent way of reducing packaging and costs.
We are happy to help you set up your own local food coop.
Food Fest
We celebrate our local food knowledge, finding out about growing food in Ilford, sharing recipes and hands-on demos, tips for reducing food waste and food for health.
