What's in-store?
Shopping at Ballarat Wholefoods Collective is completely different from your regular supermarket. Most products are sold in bulk, by weight and we show you how to do this when you join up.
Ballarat Wholefoods Collective endeavours to minimise as much waste as possible. All members should bring their own jars, containers, produce bags, and carry bags each time they shop. Please ensure your containers are clean.

Seasonal, Organic Fruit & Vegetables
From delicious locally-grown apples, to garlic & ginger, to the good 'ol spud, the co-op has a range of in-season, organic produce at great prices.

Non-perishable Goods
Reduce waste and buy your non-perishable food items in bulk. We have a large range of non-perishable goods to choose from. Join us in embracing sustainable choices that nourish both body and spirit!

Locally Sourced Staple & Artisan Foods
To compliment our seasonal produce and non-perishables, we also have a large range of locally source staple & artisan foods such as sourdough bread and baked goods, honey, cured meats, cheeses & dairy products, jams, preserves and much more.
