Affordable hauora kai (healthy food) is the idea behind the Fruit & Vege Co-op. The Co-op harnesses our collective buying power to reduce the cost of fresh kai.
For just $15 you’ll get a fruit & vege pack made up of 3 to 4 fruit and 3 to 4 vegetable varieties that are currently in season. The pack contents vary from week to week but it’s always great value!
Wesley Community Action co-ordinates the Co-op in partnership with Te Whatu Ora (formerly Regional Public Health).
The Co-op is made possible by many volunteers giving their time generously to support their community – we’re not a business or a charity. We uphold the mana of everyone involved – the growers, the wholesalers, the freight workers, our volunteers and our members. We’re creating a food system that rewards everyone fairly and is accessible to all of our community. So the more people that join, the better value the Co-op can deliver to all.
The co-op has 10 packing hubs and more than 30 pick-up locations throughout the greater Wellington region (including the Wairarapa).
