Promoting Health

Hello food lovers living in Brisbane or the Gold Coast, may I please direct your attention to Food Connect.

A company that connects Brisbane and Gold Coast city folks with farmers who live and farm within 500km of Brisbane.

Food Connect delivers boxes of organic fruit and vegetables to drop-off points throughout Brisbane and the Gold Coast once a week. The prices are extremely competitive with supermarket and farmer market prices. I subscribe and many others who subscribe have declared they find it cheaper to order the boxes.

This is a service I highly recommend not only for service, but for the quality, price and freshness of the organic produce. Some people hesitate with such services with the notion of not always getting the produce they wish to buy each week. To this I say… these boxes come with new and wonderful produce for us to try. Why not make your week more interesting by using the produce you receive to create new taste sensations for you and your family? The produce in the boxes is also seasonal. I believe this is a preferred way of eating. Not only can you align your body, mind and soul with the current season, but also provide your body with what nature believes it requires for that time of year.

Food Connect I believe supports positive determinants by decreasing the negative determinants within a Socio-ecological model of health for us all. In other words, they support farmers who farm in an environmentally sustainable way, decrease food miles and provide food that not only nourishes us but also helps our community members connect…
