Have you heard of the UoB Food Co-op at Moulsecoomb campus?

The Co-op supplies its members with weekly locally-sourced fruit & veg boxes, providing a low-carbon, community-aware way for people to support and eat good food. Veg boxes cost £4 each and the contents vary every week according to availability and seasonality.

As in previous years, veg boxes will be available for pickup every Thursday during term-time from the ground floor of the Cockcroft building (opposite the Students’ Union reception). The stall will also sell wholefoods sourced from Infinity Foods. Normally, veg boxes must be ordered in advance – you can sign up for your veg box at the stall on Thursdays, or at the Students Union reception any time before 12 midday on Tuesday.

Membership of the Co-op is open to staff, students and members of the local community. All members of the Food Co-op are asked to volunteer one hour of their time each month – this could be sorting and/or distributing veg on Thursdays, or helping to place orders, promote the co-op, update social media and so on.

The Food Co-op will be holding an introductory event on Thursday 29^th October from 12 to 2 pm in the Cockcroft building. A limited number of veg boxes will be available to purchase on the day for £5, which will include one year’s membership of the food co-op, and a canvas bag to take your veg home.

If you are interested in the Co-op but can’t make it on Thursday, please visit the Students Union reception in Cockcroft at any time or email uobfoodcoop@gmail.com.
