Mary Valley Country Harvest Cooperative

AWARD CATEGORY: CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE

Mary Valley Country Harvest Cooperative aim to be a driver of positive economic, social and environmental impacts within our community. Activities include farm walks and workshops to observe and explore current best-practices in landcare, livestock management, and small-scale farming techniques. Produce sales are concentrated within a 75km radius, to engage with communities that can have a direct connection with the farms. They coordinate weekly deliveries to families at ‘host’ locations, and a weekly Growers Market, both offering only locally-grown/made produce. In addition, they provide and encourage opportunities for social interaction and information to support healthy food choices – “Places where freshness, flavours and friends come together”.
