In a nutshell, the idea was born because many of us are spending considerable amounts of time sourcing premium, sustainable, local, seasonal produce that we can trust has been grown by farmers who share our beliefs and standards. We realised that by banding together with our community we can form a strong buying group to access gourmet produce, save ourselves some money and support our farmers at the same time.  Win. Win.Win. We don’t want wax on our apples, plastic around our cucumbers, hydroponically grown, tasteless veg.We want to know our meat and poultry has been raised ethically out in the fresh air without added chemicals, hormones or added nasties.We want tasty, old fashioned food that is raised with love and tastes the way Nature intended. We also know that farmers in WA are doing it tough and Local Produce Ladies hopes to link the two communities. Sourcing gourmet quality local produce and paying the farmers directly.
