Welcome

!We are a very different, forward thinking organisation with a focus not just on providing fabulous fresh food, but also on improving the lot of farmers, our communities and the environment.

The produce from Food Connect is all sourced from within a five-hour radius of Brisbane which allows the freshness to be retained.  Any green vegetables you receive will have been picked with the shortest time frame being possible between picking and your delivery.

As time goes on,  and with your continuing support;  we aim to grow more traditional varieties of your favourite vegetables and fruit.

We pack boxes with a mix of standard, fortnightly and seasonal produce.  This means our farmers are not forced to grow out of season allowing less chemical use.

One of the side benefits in developing a CSA is that our farmers can start to trial grow a huge variety of produce that over the years has disappeared from your dinner table.  This has largely come about as a result of the supermarkets and large agribusiness controlling the markets for their own benefits.

We look forward to providing you with some of the old traditional varieties with superb flavour and health benefits.   As we are in the formative stages of this enterprise we hope you will join with us in bringing this concept to fruition (excuse the pun) for the benefit of more farmers in the area.

The team here along with your friendly City Cousin will only be too pleased to help you find the best way to utilise all the food in your basket.  You will find recipes on your weekly Farmletter which will help you to identify and use some of the more unusual produce you may receive.

Feel free to give feedback if you are getting too much of something or a favourite recipe you would like to share.  We especially like people sharing seeds and produce of  heirloom, open pollinated, non hybrid varieties of vegetables.

If you have an ideas or area of expertise that you feel you could contribute, that would be tremendous.  Our aim is to support those things that support healthy vibrant communities.
