Friends of the Earth (FOE) Eco Market
FOE has announced the development of an Eco Market style operation at this location in South Melbourne.
FOE runs a ‘Real Food Campaign’ and this site will become a new community hub that reconnects people to a sense of place and belonging – a community hub of social enterprise, markets and food production. It is tentatively being called South Melbourne Commons.
The site will feature, a cafe, food cooperative, grocery store and deli with a weekly Saturday Eco Market operation starting later in the year. Weekly workshops and community activities will be a common occurrence.
Seasonal Food Pocket Guide
A seasonal food pocket guide is now available for free download.
The guide will tell you what fresh produce is in season each month for the Melbourne and surrounding area.
We are reminded that one way of reducing our daily ecological footprint is eating sustainably produced, locally grown, in-season food from small independent shops.
Eco Hall Location
Corner of Bank and Montague Streets, South Melbourne at the site of the old South Melbourne Catholic Primary School, adjacent to the St Peter and Paul’s Catholic Church where the outspoken Father Bob Magure lives, feeding the poor and looking after the needy.
Are there any other eco halls we can list?
