Linking farmers to city folk with fresh organic produce, Food Connect
in Brisbane is the changing face of buying locally produced food in an
otherwise supermarket-dominated industry.
Unlike most national food distributors, major supermarket chains and produce box schemes, Food Connect sources its predominantly organic produce from local and regional family farms around Brisbane, providing farmers and consumers with a ‘fair-dinkum’ price for quality local and organic products. By supporting local businesses, the future of local farmers is ensured; food connect creates awareness to ‘city folk’ about the impact of their food choices on their country neighbours. Apart from ensuring the growth of local farmers, Food Connect, also reduces the carbon emissions traditionally associated with transporting food by transporting produce direct from the farmer to you. Products available via Food Connect are not limited to fresh produce and seasonal vegetables, but you can also purchase beautiful cheese from local organic dairy farms, poultry, milk, tofu, olive oil and coffee. For a full list of prices and products visit Food Connect’s website for a taste of what delicious local food is on offer to Brisbane residents.
