Fresh food. Local people. Better together.
Fresh Aussie-Grown Produce Through Your Local Food Tribe
We're building Your Local Food Tribe through local people who help bring Aussie-grown fruit and vegetables closer to their communities.
Training, practical systems and support to help you get started.
Become a Local Food Champion
Build something useful in your neighbourhood while creating a flexible local earning opportunity. Local Food Champions coordinate their own neighbourhood Food Tribe with practical training, systems and support from Your Local Food Tribe.
Build something local
Create something useful in your neighbourhood while helping local households access fresh Aussie-grown produce.
You don't build it alone
Practical training, online ordering systems, operational tools and support are provided so you're not starting from a blank page.
A flexible local opportunity
Build a local microbusiness with flexibility around your circumstances while meeting the practical needs of your Food Tribe.
Fresh food with choice, community and purpose
Choose what suits you
Choose the products and quantities that suit your household. There is no fixed mystery box.
Aussie-grown produce
Our fresh fruit and vegetable commitment is Australian-grown, with Queensland sourcing prioritised where practical and true.
Community-powered
Each Food Tribe is coordinated by a Local Food Champion who provides a real local point of connection and service.
How Your Local Food Tribe Works
Find your Food Tribe
Tell us your suburb or postcode and see whether a Food Tribe is being developed near you.
Choose what you actually want
When your local Tribe is ready, choose the products and quantities that suit your household online - not a fixed mystery box.
Your Champion coordinates locally
Your Local Food Champion coordinates the local service, including collection or delivery arrangements where they are genuinely available.
Find Your Food Tribe
Tell us your suburb or postcode. We'll help you find the relevant Food Tribe when one is available, or keep you updated as the network grows. Your Local Food Tribe Salisbury is the first Food Tribe currently being prepared for launch.
Your Local Food Tribe Salisbury
Your Local Food Tribe Salisbury is currently in pre-launch. We're building the Salisbury Food Tribe for Salisbury and nearby communities including Moorooka, Rocklea, Nathan, Tarragindi, Coopers Plains and Archerfield.
We're building the founding community and preparing the service before public ordering opens.

What We're Hearing From the Salisbury Pilot
We're still early in the Salisbury pilot, but members are already telling us what they notice. Some have shared positive experiences about flavour and quality, and some have told us certain produce stayed fresh longer than they expected.
These are individual member experiences rather than a guarantee, because produce and storage conditions vary.
Food With a Bigger Purpose
Your Local Food Tribe is being built so everyday fresh-food spending can support more than the weekly shop - supporting Aussie growers, helping local households access fresh produce, strengthening neighbourhood connections and creating flexible local earning opportunities, particularly for women facing barriers to traditional paid work.
We're building this hands-on and want to stay close to the people joining us. Have a question, an idea or just want to know what we're building? Message us on Messenger. While we're getting started, a founder may be the person who replies.
Why We Use Open-Source Food Technology
We use shared open-source food technology so we don't have to build every part of the food-commerce system from scratch. That can leave more focus and resources for people, training, local operations and community.
