INTRO
Your Choice of Local,fresh,non-toxic,quality food
delivered to the island or your door, as you wish
Coochie Foodies is a group operating on Coochie since October 2016 to bring a wide range of local or regional food and pantry products to the island fortnightly.
We have an online ordering system, same as the supermarkets and a similar delivery price (max $ 15).
Our produce is either chemical free or certified organic, from wholesalers/ purveyors (Food Connect and Sovereign Foods) and farmers (Mt Cotton Organic Farm) who wouldn't have it any other way. Because we've cut out some middlemen and buy whole sale where possible, we're way cheaper than retail organic, in fact similar to supermarket NON organic prices. Going for quality from farmers who care means they get 40%+ of what we pay, compared with the 14% cut they get from the big boys (if they are lucky).
The food we bring in is good for the farm, the farmer, and of course ourselves. It is Food for Thought.
Each member can order from over 800 items of the product range below. Every box is customised by you, and you can order as little or as much as you need each time. If you wish, you can choose your own standard base box and we repeat that for you every time.
See the PowerPoint below to get an idea of the range of choices.
Our Range: we pay wholesale prices for 800+ organic products. Our system is organised into tabs which most people find easy enough to use - but you can only access this from 9pm Tuesday to 9am Thursday of the ordering week. Factor in a 10% surcharge (to a maximum of $15) on these prices for getting it to the island, insurance and other expenses.You can see an example of the range and prices here.

No one makes money out of Coochie Foodies, not at all.
Russell & Gabrielle spend a lot of volunteer time on the Food Group: Why?
Sure the food is excellent for our health and that is one BIG reason.
Sure we love the community and the organising, another BIG reason.
But ultimately, we do it to support farmers.
And be robust in our food supply
