Newbridge Food Co-op or Newbridge OOOOBY is the 2nd 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.

NOOOOBY also encourages members to bring their own produce, and most of our goods are now coming from members of the co-op. NOOOOBY is a not for profit, voluntary group, run by a group of interested locals, who feel strongly about where their food comes from.

Sister OOOOBY group - Carraig Dulra

Visit our sister OOOOBY group

Take a visit to our sister OOOOBY group in Glenealy, Wicklow and see what local food magic they get up too!! Met with and had a great and very useful chat with Mike Cahn of Wicklow OOOOBY at the Community Supported Agriculture Conference at the weekend in Cloughjordan Eco-Village(more about that to follow!!), got some useful, practical tips, but mainly great to meet people doing similar things just across the hills. We also made a promise to try and stay better linked, share ideas and make sure we're not re-creating the wheel in our attmepts to keep our local oooby going.
