Changed hours at Wyong

We made a decision today, after trialing shorter hours at Wyong and observing for some weeks when the last member had been through to collect their box, and effective next week, 8th November, the hours at Wyong shall be:

3pm until 4.30pm

Same starting time, earlier finishing time. Anyone running late can have their bag packed for them, to be collected whilst we're packing up.

For new enquiries, please arrive well before closing time so that there is something to see on the tables other than empty boxes!

See you at the co-op...

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... :)
