We order on Friday morning - this hasn't changed; we still need your payment by Thursday to finalise numbers. The fresh fruit and veg is delivered on Thursday to St Aidan's . The packing is done at Salvation Army Newtown. All pickup is through the op shop. The relationship between the Vege Co-op and Shop 89 (the op shop run by St Aidan's Church) has turned out to be very beneficial for both; the shop reaps the benefit of having vege co-op customers coming through- Increased foot traffic! - and the vege co-op benefits from having an accessible contact point where customers can find out information, and pick up their orders. In 2016 Bobbi stepped down from co-ordinating the vege co-op, and this position was filled by Meri Grace, who now manages both the op-shop and the vege co-op. Meri Grace has now stepped down from both the op-shop and vege co-op positions. Her place at the vege co-op is currently being filled by Nina Ibrahim and Mary Lee Caldwell.. It's great to hear how many people are enjoying their fresh produce, so keep up the good eating!
