In 1976, a group of Canberra university students would meet at the Kingston railway station to divide their bulk orders of food ordered from Sydney.

This group would go on to become the ANU Nutrition Society, which has evolved into today’s community owned-and-run bulk grocery store and cafe The Food Co-Op in Civic.

Over the decades, the Food Co-Op has been renamed, moved to new locations and come close to closure, but says product manager Andy de Groot, 48 years on, its core values and goals remain the same – providing organic, affordable and ethically sourced food for the Canberra community.
