NSW Health has additionally recommended the use of masks when unable to practice social distancing, including when doing groceries. These masks can be reusable home made fabric masks. Information on how to use masks safely is here. Importantly, masks are not a replacement for other precautions and we still need you to abide by the other rules - hand washing, keeping a safe distance, single use scoops and staying home if sick and getting tested.
Pre-ordered organic fruit & veggie boxes are ready for pick-up every Thursday (available for members only). Members receive discounted prices on most in store items and can also bulk order individual products. You will be notified when your bulk orders are ready for collection (this will depend on delivery frequency from different suppliers). Anyone is welcome to become a member! You can find out more about membership here.
Note: Thoughtful Foods is a 100% volunteer-run shop and also your local food co-op :) This means that on occasions opening hours can change at shorter notice than you might expect with other shops.
