Why buy food in bulk?

To obtain better quality food direct from farmers, wholesalers and producers, thereby reducing ‘food miles’ and waste.
To reduce single use plastic packaging and waste by using your own reusable containers.
To contribute to the resilience of your community by building local food security.
To reduce your reliance on the big supermarkets and their control over our food system.
To build a network of like-minded people and share knowledge about local food, farms, markets, recipes and other food-related activities.

How does it work?

OOL Bulk Foods takes orders four times per year. We find and review the latest products, liaise with suppliers, coordinate delivery of goods, process orders and facilitate the dividing up days. We also provide a food safe commercial venue for storing and dividing the bulk foods. To help meet the principles of the scheme, we encourage participants to get involved where they can, and assist with the following:

Ensure your orders are submitted by the due date.
Ensuring you have suitable storage containers for your order, and the containers are delivered prior to the dividing up day, unless you intend to be there yourself.
Assist with logistics such as transporting goods from suppliers or to other scheme participants.
Assist on dividing up days with bulk food order processing and weighing of goods.
