The food co-ops run with a weekly bag scheme. The bags cost £4.50 for a large bag (or £3.00 for a smaller bag) and contain at least five different vegetables and two fruits, with some potatoes, carrots and onions every week. Each week the co-ops buy the food in bulk and volunteers pack it up for the members. There’s also a recipe sheet with suggestions of tasty things to cook with the food in the
bag. We take Healthy Start Vouchers and also sell eggs. In order to buy from the food co-ops customers just need to:
1) Go along to your nearest food co-op
(Lillington, Warwick, Sydenham, Kingsway & Whitnash)
2) Fill in a membership form and pay for your first bag
3) Continue to order and pay for the bags a week in advance.
4) Pick up our food bag from their chosen co-op and enjoy! Kingsway Community Food Co-op - Pick up on Thursday afternoon
