FRUIT+VEG
All our fruit and vegetables are organically-grown with a seasonal focus, delivered fresh to the co-op Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fri
days. Some fruit and veg is farmer-direct, which means the co-op buys directly from the farmer, and is tagged as such. Most of the produce
is certified organic, however, some farmer-direct produce is
un-certified and is also clearly tagged as such. Alfalfa House has
visited each of the farms from whom we buy directly and is satisfied
that each un-certified farmer is farming organically. All fresh produce
is grown in Australia unless otherwise stated on the price tag. We
update what's available in fruit and veg each week. To view the list and

Farmer-direct
The co-op is keen to buy more of its supplies of
fresh fruit and veg as well as other stock direct from farmers. Dealing
direct means fairer and truer prices for farmers and consumers alike and
provides farmers with real economic incentives to broaden the range of
what they grow. It also gives the co-op a direct influence over quality,
seasonal availability and genetic integrity – all of which helps meet
the co-op's key objective to provide food over which members have some
form of control. Look out for Farmer Direct on price tags.
