Welcome to Newbridge OOOOBY, Newbridge's Local Food co-op. 

Founded in November 2010. Newbridge OOOOBY is a local Food co-op, 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 in 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.

At the moment, we’re sourcing our whole food locally, prioritising 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, Kildare raised organic chickens, and Kildare apple juice and organic cheese from Carlow, all supplied by members. Since June 2011, we have been trialling a local organic vegetable box scheme, and feedback has been glowingly positive!

 If you’re interested in getting involved in the NOOOOBY 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.

 We meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month, in The Lifeflow Centre, on Moorefield Road, Newbridge at 8pm. The first meeting is for placing your order and the second meeting is for collection of goods. We also tend to have a ‘shop’ there on the night with goods for sale that isn’t on the order form, so you’re welcome to call in and say hello and see how things work.
