Here are some other places in or near Dubbo with good organic options:

Mojo’s Daily Scoop

http://majosdailyscoop.com.au

A fantastic selection of organic flours, grains, dried fruit, nuts spices etc. In terms of local produce they have locally produced eggs, honey, olive oil, goat milk soap, bacon, sausages and more.

My Farm Shop

https://myfarmshop.com.au/

Beef, lamb, chicken. Joel Salatin Style. Not local to Dubbo but still NSW farmers.

I wonder how many people have given money to drought relief yet still buy overseas berries, overseas sultanas, overseas tinned fruit, overseas tinned tomatoes. (Maybe check in your cupboard now!)

It’s easy to feel emotional about supporting local farmers and then go and buy overseas products from the supermarket. (Dick Smith foods has just announced they are closing due to lack of support for local food.)

If we are really concerned for local farmers we might also try to shift our habits and buy locally produced food. This means buy Australian instead of overseas but more particularly food produced in our region.

Sometimes it will cost more to buy locally. Sometimes it will cost less. Sometimes the product will be better. Sometimes it will be worse. But at least in these cases your money is going straight to the farmer.
