FIG - Organic food co-op: March 2013

25 March 2013

A change to co-op operations

After a trial period and consultation with members, the FIG Board decided to change co-op hours, effective 25th March 2013, to closing at 5pm instead of 6pm.

This means no more extras will be sold after 4.30pm and, should you be running late, please ring the FIG phone on 04166 47715 to arrange a bag to be packed for you for collection during pack up.

Hours are now 2pm until 5pm each Monday

- unless there is a public holiday.

And....... there is a public holiday Monday next week, for Easter!

As usual, co-op operations will move to the Tuesday - 2nd April, from 2pm until 5pm.

See you there...

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... :)
