Why not get involved in the co-op? There are plenty of opportunities, from helping at markets, to publicising the co-op, or behind the scenes. True Food Co-op only exists today because of the generous contributions of its many volunteers.

Final market at RISC

|
Saturday 12th December saw the final market to be held at RISC. Customers in the central Reading area are now served by the Wednesday evening market at the Wesley Methodist church hall on Queens Road about 5 minutes walk from the old venue. The decision to close the Saturday market was made in order to free up resources for the new weekly Wednesday evening market and the shop due to open next Spring. It also means that all markets are now weekly, and so easier to remember, and staff are not required to work at the weekend.

Meat from Laverstoke Farm

|

We have started taking regular orders for meat from Laverstoke Park Farm, a biodynamic/organic farm near Basingstoke (27 miles from the True Food Warehouse). As well as the usual selection of lamb, beef, pork and whole chickens Laverstoke Park have Water buffalo. You can buy buffalo sausages, burgers and mince as well as milk and delicious mozzarella cheese.
