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.

Local Producer Profile - Camphill @ Grangebeg

In case you were wondering where our beautiful organic eggs at NOOOOBY were coming from, here's where! 

In season we have also been getting some of our organic vegetables from Grangebeg for our totally organic vegetable boxes. In early summer we had the largest early potatoes I have ever seen!

Check out Grangebeg's farm here: http://www.camphill.ie/grangebeg-Farming-s-91.html




Camphill Community Grangebeg is located in County Kildare on the border with County Wicklow. They are a small farm based community responsible for the care and management of our 46 acres of land, on which we run a small herd of cattle, sheep and a few hundrend chickens. They are organically certified and their vegetable garden provides enough food to sustain them through most of the year with a surplus to sell to local communities and fellow organic growers.
