Description: Newbridge OOOOBY is the newest OOOOBY group in Ireland,
the first one starting in Wicklow in association with Carraig Dulra.
Standing for ‘Out of Our Own Back Yard’ the OOOOBY group is based on
the Food Co-op ideals of sourcing local producers and suppliers of local,
tasty, affordable and if possible, organic food.
At the moment, we’re getting whole food from Simply Wild whole food
suppliers based in Toughers Business Park, Simply Wild prioritises Irish
and organic produce, so we’ve been enjoying tasty delights such as
coffee roasted in Cork, and homemade Irish chocolate. We also get local
Kildare honey and Kildare raised organic chickens, and we’re in the
middle of sourcing local vegetables and fruit, possibly through a local
vegetable box scheme.
If you’re interested in getting involved in the group, and buying your
food locally, you can contact us via email at newbridgeooooby@gmail.com or
phone our chairman Mairtín Lane on 087 4169582.
Current Activities: We meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month, in The Bridge CDP, on Charlotte St, Newbridge at 8pm.
