The beanstalk organic food is a not for profit community organisation that strives to sow the seeds of nourishment, fairness and connections into our community. It does this by sourcing ethically produced and ecologically sound items direct from farmers in the local region and local suppliers.
Each week there is a chance to feel part of the local food community. The local farmers that supply beanstalk love a chat as you arrive to collect a box of fresh produce that has travelled minimal distance to arrive in your hands.
The beanstalk organic food plans to foster this feeling of community with local farm tours, seasonal social events and cooking classes. As a not for profit community organisation we encourage our members to volunteer their time and skills to ensure that the work is divided and the beanstalk can thrive and grow.
Beanstalk headquarters has relocated from Newcastle's CBD to the hall and grounds of St Andrews, 31A Church Street, Mayfield.
If you're interested in having fresh produce still available in the city centre - we are looking to form a Newcastle 'node'.Please register your interest: info@beanstalk.org.au
Food consumption has become increasingly removed from food production in our society. We aim to empower our urban community with the knowledge that their food is local and safe. The beanstalk organic food endeavours to re-establish the links between producer and consumer. By supporting our local farmers, the members and customers of the organisation get weekly fresh, seasonal and reasonably priced boxes of fruit and vegetables and access to other fresh and dry goods.
