Welcome to the
Fawkner Wholefoods Collective. Simply place your order and collect your produce from the
Fawkner Bowls Club - 2 Creedon St, Fawkner, every 3rd Sunday of the month. You will need to bring your own containers to collect the produce.
Next distro day: Sunday 16 November
The future of the Collective: Our committee remains dedicated to the Collective and what we do, but we need more back-up to be sure that the Collective can continue and run well. We will run the remaining distribution days for 2025 (November 16 and December 14), but
we won't be running more in 2026.
At the start of next year we'll look at what stock we have, what needs to be sold and what needs to be redistributed, and by then end of the financial year (ie mid-2026) will formally wind-up the Collective.
If you'd like to still be able to buy the produce we offer into the future, or you have ideas on how to run a similar service but with a new spin on it, we're happy to hand the Collective over.

Pick-up times: You can collect your order between
9am-11am. We start packing up at 11am, so you need to arrive in time to complete your order
before then.
If you come later, we'll only be able to fill your order if you can stick around to make the pack-up quicker!
Coffee: we need to put our coffee order in on the Monday morning before the shop closes. So to guarantee your coffee order PLEASE try to get it in no later than Sunday night! Remember you can order more than once, so you can still order the rest of the items you're after before the shop closes Wednesday at 5pm.
Eggs: Please check when you're ordering eggs whether you're buying ONE dozen (12 eggs) or HALF dozen (6 eggs)
Ordering
You can pre-order more than once in the same order cycle! You can order pantry products at the distro day, whether you've pre-ordered or not. You'll need your Open Food Network login and credit card details to shop using one of our devices, or use your phone if you have that info stored there.
Home Delivery
If you want to order but know you won't be able to collect on the day, select Home Delivery (for Fawkner residents only). As long as you drop containers off to us before the distro day we can deliver your order for a $5 fee. If you select home delivery and don't hear from us before Saturday, send us an email to get the address for dropping off containers
We're a Collective - get involved!
The great thing about shopping with a small Collective like ours is that you can get involved with how we do things and help make it better. We could use people to help with sending emails and other comms; a bit of business planning; ordering products once a month; and sharing ideas and talking to other similar organisations.
