We believe change can be delicious and starts with the question
We exist to support a sustainable food system for farmers and a fairer future for the next generation; that's what gets our orders packed, delivered and eaten by such a wide and wonderful community.
This question defines our social enterprise, and while the answer is constantly changing and evolving, some constants guide us.
Organic
We support Australian growers and makers who share our values, pay our farmers fair prices that value the true cost of our food, and stick with them through the seasons. Every Fair Food order supports a stronger, fairer food system.
People powered
CERES Fair Food employs a team of over 50 staff who organise, pack and deliver 6 days a week. We’re a dedicated bunch of doers from over 25 countries of origin, learning and growing with our community. Many hands make meaningful work!
Future Focused
Our deliveries use minimal and returnable packaging, highlight climate friendly and waste free products, and are powered entirely by 240 panels of rooftop solar. Together we turn good ideas into real life.
NOT FOR PROFIT
We reinvest 100% of profits (over $2 million and counting) back to CERES park and CERES School of Nature and Climate. Since opening, Fair Food has helped over 1 million students learn how to care for the Earth – now that’s a productive box of groceries!

our story
Fair Food began life in the 2000’s as CERES’ staff veggie co-op and the supplier to ten neighbourhood food co-ops.
In 2010, inspired by our heroes at Toronto’s Good Food Box and Brisbane’s Food Connect, we turned our collection of co-ops into an online grocery delivering right across Melbourne.
As we expanded from those early days, we kept a philosophy of buying from local farmers and creating jobs for people from diverse backgrounds.
Fair Food’s way of doing business resonated with thousands of people who wanted to not only eat well but take action on the environment and social issues.
The outcome has been over $2 million in profits going back to CERES Park and more than a million students taught through CERES School of Nature and Climate.
