The Healthy Cities and Food Fairness Illawarra initiative previously featured has announced the sad news that the online store will be closing. Operating since March 2022 through trying times, WOFM has promoted and supported so many local producers and local food sustainability in general.

The Fair Food Directory on the FFI website is a great resource for finding local and independent food producers and retail.
