Lane Cove-based organic food co-op Nourishing Source is growing
Nourishing Source began in 2011 with 11 families signed up as members and has grown to 80 members.
Co-ordinator Ragna Gilmour said they offered organic food and products between 30 to 40 per cent less than their retail price in supermarkets or health food stores.
“We are in a very good place at the moment with a lot of interest and a lot of purchasing power and a lot of products on offer,” she said.
“We pretty much offer anything found in the shops except milk or dairy products, besides cheese, and have just launched a brand new website.”
She said the majority of members are from Lane Cove but there are others from the wider northern Sydney area.
“I think there’s a big movement in Australia of consumers realising shops are taking them for a ride and are not making the best choices,” she said.
“Organic is a better way of doing things, not to mention it is better for the planet.”
