Join a worldwide network of Co-operatives (and use your membership at lots of them!)

Did you know there are co-operatives of all different shapes and sizes all over the world? By joining ours you enter a worldwide community of a different way of doing business, that nurtures community and the environment.

Many other co-ops will accept your membership in their stores including all the food co-ops in the Sydney region. You can find them here

Support a truly ethical and independent small business & small farmers, producers, and food diversity

Our produce is local, seasonal, and delicious. As often as we can we purchase farmer direct to ensure it’s as fresh as possible and to give farmers the prices they deserve.

Every purchase Alfalfa House makes is put back into our community—not into the pockets of CEOs, destructive businesses, and monocultures.

We prioritise people and the environment over profit!
