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.

The Fruit Press in action again...Grape Pressing



Grape Pressing!

During the mid-term I put the community fruit press into action over in my dad's place in Maynooth, and with the help of my 3 & 6 year old cousins we sorted and de-stalked hundreds of grapes and put them through the press!

We are hoping to make some delicious red wine from the grape juice, it's our first experiment with actual grape-wine making, my apple wine, made from apples from our very first inaugural fruit pressing is now the most delicious apple wine you have ever tasted, so this is wine making experiment no. 2!
