Bulk buyers clubs - groups of family, friends or neighbours pooling their buying power to access wholesale prices - are a small but mighty movement with the potential to take on or heal many of the big challenges we face as a community: cost of living, food security, social isolation, environment, the list goes on.
On Sunday, 30 July we partnered with Food Connect Shed to host a community info session, drawing on our collective knowledge to share everything householders need to start their own bulk buyers club.
We heard from Robert Pekin and Geoff Ebbs on food communities, got some great tips from a panel of our friends who are part of existing groups, like Chewsday Food Collective and Food Buyers Club Loganholme. Attendees were also able to chat to some of the amazing local growers and suppliers like The Mini Farm Project and Salisbury Mill.

The Food Connect Foundation is super grateful for the generous support from the Ubuntu Foundation which made this project possible.
