10 years in our current home! Throwback to 2016, when our members and volunteers took on the huge operation of moving from the Roundhouse to the Blockhouse.

Image 1: June 2016. The previous Thoughtful Foods shop at the back of the Roundhouse. A collage showing the interior, exterior and customers shopping, taken on the shop’s last day. The shop had a cosy, rustic look with large round plastic food tubs on wooden shelving.
Image 2: Four volunteers peeking out from behind fridges and a wall. They are in the middle of moving items into the new shopfront.
Image 3: July 2016. A shiny new glass door with silver metal frames is in place. The interior is empty. Text reads: Thoughtful Foods, hashtag: Operation Relocation. It’s a new door!
Image 4: Exterior of the shop in August 2016, with veggie boxes packed and ready for collection. The shop is still a work in progress, but our tireless vollies have resumed operations.
Image 5: November 2016. Hand-drawn signs, calling for donations to help fit out the new shop. The signs read: Our very first fundraising campaign. Help your food co-op reach $9,500 by 17 November. A fundraising thermometer chart shows that $5,010 has been raised so far.
Image 6: One of our signature chalkboard sign. It is hand-drawn with pink and blue flowing text and green leaves. Text reads: Welcome to Thoughtful Foods.
