While reading NZ Herald an article on Ooooby caught my eye.
Ooooby stands for Out of our Own Backyard
Ooooby is…
- a movement of food growers and locavores with a common goal of food independence.
- a place where you can learn from, connect and exchange with local growers and eaters.
- a social enterprise which pours all its profits back into local food projects.
On further investigation I see that Ooooby is very much in keeping with the Transition town movement. Pete Russell who runs it is doing some great things on Waiheke.
We city dwellers can learn more about growing our own food as Ooooby is about to run a gardening course here in the room belonging to Garnet Station cafe.
