Waterbridge Food Co-op

The Waterbridge Food Co- op is a project sponsored by a Social Determinants of Health grant from Tasmania Medicare Local. It was created through the partnership of Jordan River Service Inc, SecondBite, Colony 47, Centacare Evolve, Workskills and Dr Bridgette Watts (local GP and Urban Farming Tasmania founder).

The project plan covers a Food Co-op at the Community Centres in Bridgewater and Gagebrook to help open the access to healthy and affordable food. It involves growing food in community gardens, community cooking groups, a community Pantry and pop-up markets.
