The Transition Kew Food Coop was initiated by members of Transition Town Boroondara.  Transition Towns are about communities responding to the challenges and opportunities presented by peak oil and climate change to move to a safe and sustainable future.  Food Cooperatives can be a part of that response, helping communities come together to become more resilient by sourcing their food locally and sustainably.

Transition Kew Food Coop has been developed by Transition Town Boroondara to bring local, organic and sustainable food directly from farmers to members.  The first initiative of the group is a veggie box subscription which commenced in October 2010 to which members may subscribe on a weekly or fortnightly basis.  See the Become a Member page to find out how to join.
