What if we work together to inspire, educate and grow our society through food and sustainability to bring us all back to where we need to be - working with nature not against it? If you're not contributing to the solution you're part of the problem.
x What if we could make a real difference – to our health, our communities and our environment?
x What if there was a food focused co-operative with like minded local businesses working together to educate, promote and advocate a sustainable way of living through food?
x What if we invited others to join us on this journey to learn, grow and thrive; to create a community that can spark a social movement of positive change and connection?
Here at What If, we have a strong focus on self-sufficiency, zero waste, education and the best locally sourced seasonal produce from our hand-picked suppliers. Our mission is to create a community who want to learn, live and thrive in an environmentally friendly, whole-chain approach to food and the planet. We will do this by exploring, sharing and educating one another on the benefits and possibilities that each season brings.
x Composting is the breaking down of any living or dead plant or animal material, known as organic matter. Decomposition is a natural process but we produce much more waste than nature alone can deal with. Composting fabricates the ideal conditions found in nature, to cope with the excess we produce. Given the ideal nutrients and conditions we can transform our food scraps into compost, a nutrient dense soil conditioner that benefits the environment in so many ways.
x Composting recycles our food scraps into a resource. The end product enhances the local soil health and reduces the need for chemically derived fertilisers. The addition of compost to the soil increases the lands water retention capability and reduces compaction making the land more productive.
We offer a local composting service to our subscribers and work with local hospitality businesses to collect their food waste and compost it to put back into the Southern Highlands soil.
