FIG - Organic food co-op: November 2012

27 November 2012

Christmas/New Year operating hours

As usual, FIG is having a break over the Christmas and New Year period.

Our last day of operation shall be Monday 17th December and we shall resume Monday 7th January.

This means FIG will be closed on 24th and 31st December.

Thank you to all our wonderful members and volunteers - and of course, a HUGE thank you to our local farmers and growers as without you, we wouldn't exist!

Christmas gift ideas

We came across this on the internet during the week...

... and thought what a good idea it was to share with you all!

FIG is all about community, sharing, supporting the locals, and the co-op will have available some fresh, raw honey and luscious Biodynamic olives and oils which make good Christmas presents to family and friends, and to serve guests over summer when you're entertaining.

They will be available on the extras tables and when they're gone, they're gone, so...

... get in quick!

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... :)
