The core of Food Connect as a social enterprise, besides our farmers (without whom we have nothing!) are our City Cousins. City Cousins form the basis of our ability to sustainably deliver locally produced fresh organic, fruit and veg as they are our ‘outlet’ for distribution.
City Cousins are subscribers to Food Connect who volunteer their home/business and their time to provide a place from where you can safely and convieniently collect your produce boxes ( read more about City Cousins here and here). City Cousins come on-board as demand for box subscriptions grow. You will be allocated a City Cousin that is closest to you or you nominate is best for you. You can change your City Cousin when a closer one is created and as we expand. 
Your expressions of interest as a subscriber are vitally important for helping us to plot City Cousin locations, otherwise we don’t know if we have sufficient demand to create a new City Cousin in your area. Thankfully, Food Connect Adelaide have the skills of a mapping expert to make your allocated City Cousin location the most efficient point for your pick up.
Currently, for our first round of City Cousins we have 7 available for our March launch date. They are located at:
- South West Village (SW Community Centre, Adelaide)
- Stirling
- Westbourne Park
- Tranmere
- Brompton
- Eden Hills
- Somerton Park
These locations have been chosen because they are metropolitan areas and are centrally located. We are intending to expand City Cousin sites outwards from these initial sites so we can deliver your fruit and veg orders in the most convienient way for you.
In addition to the 7 locations above, we have City Cousins ready to go, but are needing more subscibers, at the following locations:
- Mylor
- Blackwood
- Hallett Cove
- Gulfview Heights
- Onkaparinga Hills
- Port Noarlunga
- Greenhill
- Sheidow Park
This second round of City Cousins will become available when sufficient demand for each is reached. So if you’re wondering if now is a good time to sign up (non-obligated and no payment required with sign up) , IT IS!
