This week, we’re introducing you to Ellen, one of the directors here at Flame Tree Community Food Co-op!
We asked Ellen what she loves most about the co-op, and her answer sums up so much of what Flame Tree is about, reducing waste and making sustainable shopping simple.
From bringing in your empty jars and filling them with exactly what you need, to getting a little to try before committing to a bulk amount, there’s a way to shop that works for everyone.This week, we’re introducing you to Ellen, one of the directors here at Flame Tree Community Food Co-op!

We also asked Ellen about some of her favourite local businesses. When she’s not at Flame Tree, you’ll find her enjoying a coffee at Black Market, browsing for gifts at Collins booksellers, or grabbing some delicious Vietnamese food from NOM.
And what’s in Ellen’s Flame Tree basket? Some of her favourites include tamari almonds, puffed rice, dark chocolate licorice, h**p seeds, cinnamon, linseeds, Brazil nuts, goji berries, flour and Kangaroo Valley eggs - plus fresh leek and kale!
Thanks for sharing your local favourites with us, Ellen!
