Local Food Pilot
Food resilience is an essential element to any healthy community and Our Food Network is here to help connect the dots in Ōtepoti / Dunedin.
OFN recognises that the philosophical, economic, and political motives for localising food production in Dunedin are diverse and is working to genuinely acknowledge these individual differences as collective strength.
Joining the pilot means:
Weekly boxes of local kai at cost + 20%
No long supply chains where every company that deals with the product 'clips the ticket'
No long supply chains that can be disrupted by earthquakes, floods or fuel shortages.
The money you spend on groceries stays in the region, and helps secure jobs.
Anything you don’t want goes straight to foodbanks or KiwiHarvest
If you’ve ever wanted to support local food, this is the moment that matters most. We need the 100 households to be able to get wholesale rates, and to spread the overhead costs of this initiative. Help us reach 100 and get those seeds in the ground. Even though we are yet to get the 100 households on board, we have committed to starting on November 8th
There are still boxes available in all categories - the smallest investment is $40 per week
