Happy Birthday!! Yeahhhhh
It’s party time!! On the 15 November Your Food Collective will turn one. It’s been a wildly busy year that has passed in the blink of an eye, and Cara and I wanted to say Thank You!
Thank You to all our amazing supporters, producers, customers, employees and patient husbands. Without your support Your Food Collective would never have gotten off the ground and this truly has been a team effort, so Thank You!
One bite at a time…
-
You’ve chosen to start building a food system that will create a brighter future.
-
You’ve chosen to support local producers week after week – making sure we always have food grown on the farms around us.
-
You’ve chosen to actually eat seasonally, enjoying the bounty of each harvest and then saying goodbye.
-
You’ve learnt what fresh really means and you’ve loved it!
-
You’ve dared to be different and make local the norm.
-
You’ve committed to paying producers a fair price for the food they grow, and
-
You’ve chosen to start building a community that is conscious.
Each week you fill us with passion and drive to keep expanding our offer and improving our services, we truly are striving to be the best we can at everything we do. You’ve shown us an amazing amount of patience whilst we learn how to get things right and this is what keeping us going. Thank You
Looking back at our first hub I think you’ll all agree that we’ve come along way!
That first day we had Mum on deck as official baby-wearer (thanks mum!), until we realised we needed her to ware the baby and pack boxes (thanks again), then saved by some perfectly timed annual leave taken by Matt (a.k.a warehouse worrier), walked in to pick up his order and left three hours later after setting us straight, we made it! Well sort of, I think Cara and I looked at each other as we finally closed the doors well after midnight and said F%#K!! Then it all started again. The weekly rhythm we have come to live by.
Needless to say we now have more than amazing 11 people working for us in the warehouse, which makes my mind spin when we thought we could pack boxes with just the two of us!! And supporting that we have more than seven dedicated experts who are driving the back end and making shit happen!
We’re now connecting you directly to over 50 local producers who sell over 500 seasonal products, dinner never looked so good!
But it’s all just the beginning and we’re really excited to be moving forward together. Bringing you more producers, greater flexibility and more of what you love… FOOD!
We’re excited about making next year even better! We’d love to hear from you, what can we do to make sure Your Food Collective is everything you dreamed of and more, how can we make our second year twice as good as our last…
Thanks Again for being part of Your Food Collective together we can redefine the way food reaches our plates and make sure it’s here to stay!
P.S. To celebrate the year that was and say Thank You we’re giving everyone a special gift in their order next week. Don’t miss out 😊
