13 May 2012

Food Revolution Day

This year, famous chef and driving force behind healthy eating in schools programs, Jamie Oliver, is launching 'Food Revolution Day' on Saturday, 19th May, 2012.

FOOD REVOLUTION DAY

Food Revolution Day is a day of action to inspire, educate and empower people everywhere to stand up for real food.

One of our FIG members is taking a stand with Jamie in joining the movement for real, whole food and hosting a “plant food potluck” at his home next Saturday the 19th of May from 1:00pm.

This event is open for the public to attend and bookings are essential. You can book at http://www.foodrevolutionday.com. Type in your postcode and the event will show up. You need to register to be able to RSVP and obtain details of the event.

How does FIG work?

FIG is a community run, not-for profit group operating a weekly food box system on the Central Coast, NSW. Co-op members order and pay one week in advance (or more) and collect on Mondays from Ourimbah.

The produce is certified organic or Biodynamic, with a small percentage of some chemical free items as well. The next priority is to source produce as locally grown as possible and support the local farmers.

The co-op is run by volunteers comprising of a management committee and general members, who share in the setting up and packing away, ordering, weighing & bagging up of vegies, being a cashier assistant, and lots of little jobs in between.

An extras table is set up where garlic, honey, Biodynamic olives and oils are available, along with additional fresh produce.

We operate the co-op of a Monday all throughout the year (except for a couple of weeks over Christmas and New Year), at the Ourimbah Scout Hall, Ourimbah Creek Road, Ourimbah; it's just behind the Metro service station at the intersection of Ourimbah Creek Road and Pacific Highway.

The hours are 2.00pm until 5.00pm. When Monday is a public holiday, we operate on Tuesday of that week instead.

To contact FIG, the phone number is 04166 47715 and the email address is info@fig.org.au. More information is available at fig.org.au.

Come along for a visit and you may order a food box for the following week, or email us if you would like to have some further information.

We hope to see you soon at FIG... :)
