Newsletter - 27th October 2024

Hello! šŸ™‚


A final reminder! Last chance to place Mango orders today.


TheĀ Mango FundraiserĀ is on. We rely heavily on the fundraiser to help cover the costs of running the Hub, including both types of insurance, council fees, online shop costs, website costs, council permit costs, accounting software costs, and so much more. I am entirely unpaid, I pay for my products like everyone else does, and I also have covered the running costs every year for the two fridges and chest freezer that the Hub requires (it would be nice to cover this too as some stage!), so fundraising is vital. A 7kg tray (of 14 to 21 mangoes) is $28 this year,Ā so the price per mango for spray-free mangoes from a regenerative farm is only $1.30 to $2 per mango depending on size. They are absolutely delicious. The trays will be arriving in the week starting the 16th December. Please share the linkĀ to the Mango Fundraiser pageĀ with family and friends, and they can order and pay for their trays themselves.


We have our usual weekly and fortnightly orders open this week, as well as some bimonthly and trimonthly orders. And remember we have a whole lot of items inĀ Fills, including cheese, drink bottles, chocolate bars, hand-baked bites, seeds, shampoo and conditioner, sustainable fish, gluten free pasta, and a new set of meal bases from Mingle.


Also, a reminder that there are reviews for some products from orders that are currently open:



Orders Permanently Open


A reminder that the following orders are always open and available for purchase (links open order page):


  • Mango FundraiserĀ - this will be permanently open until tonight. Absolutely delicious, spray-free mangoes from regenerative farming at a great price. We eat them fresh, dehydrate them and freeze them by the tray-full each year. YUM!

  • Cheeky MonkeyĀ - Heat bags made from 100% cotton fabric and thread, with removable, washable covers. They contain corn instead of wheat, making them suitable for people with wheat allergies. You can read more about them on the product pages;

  • Tomato Condiment FundraiserĀ - this will be open until the products run out.

  • Olive and Bee Intimate CreamĀ - recommended by one of our members who has been using it for a couple of years. It has uses as a moisturiser and massage oil as well as a personal lubricant. It has two ingredients - olive oil and beeswax - and is Australian made and owned by a small business. We have some tester tubes coming soon. You can read more about it on the product page;

  • There are always items available in Fills. Fills are important because they let us buy items in bulk (by the carton) so we can continue to get big discounts, but items do need to keep moving through there to keep us financially viable šŸ™‚ So if you need anything, or want to treat yourself to something (thereā€™s always cheese!) head over and check out Fills.
