buying policy
We take great pride in sourcing and delivering quality food and products you can trust.
Below you can see key considerations that guide our choices.
Fruit and Veg
Our organic produce is grown by many hands, on farms big and small. This includes certified organic and biodynamic farmers, as well as new regenerative growers, urban mushroom entrepreneurs, even keepers of backyard lemon trees – all working together to create a diverse and thriving local food network.
CERES manages several urban farming projects that are regularly found in our produce deliveries and we work directly with many local organic farmers – this puts more dollars into their pockets, adds more flexibility to their seasons and generally makes life as a grower a lot more sustainable.
Wholefoods and grocery products
Our wholefood and grocery products come from businesses who are as local as possible, and who we believe are making smart choices for the future – on our grocery shelves you’ll find organic ingredients, circular packaging systems, and non-toxic products backed by ethical business standards we respect.
When sourcing new products we:
- Prioritise organic and ethical
- Choose Australian grown and made first
- Minimise packaging and avoid it when possible
- Are mindful of palm oil
- Choose Fair and Direct Trade
- Are GM Free
