OOL Bulk Foods is based in Seymour Victoria and was established in 2014 This scheme is open to anyone in our local community.

Why buy food in bulk?

OOL Bulk Foods source local, organic, bio-dynamic and ethically produced non-perishable pantry staples at an affordable price while reducing the need for single use plastic packaging. BEAM Mitchell Environment Group has partnered with Out on a Lim to provide a bulk food scheme to the residents of the Mitchell and surrounding shires. The Beam Bulk Food Scheme aims to obtain local, organic, bio-dynamic and ethically produced foods at an affordable cost. To obtain better quality food direct from farmers, wholesalers and producers, thereby reducing ‘food miles’ and waste. To reduce single use plastic packaging and waste by using your own reusable containers. To contribute to the resilience of your community by building local food security. To reduce your reliance on the big supermarkets and their control over our food system. To build a network of like-minded people and share knowledge about local food, farms, markets, recipes and other food-related activities.

How does it work?
The Bulk Food Scheme (BFS) takes orders three times per year. Our BFS Coordinator is paid an honorarium to find and review the latest products, liaise with suppliers, coordinate delivery of goods, process orders and facilitate the dividing up days. The BFS Coordinator also provides a food safe commercial venue for storing and dividing the bulk foods. To help meet the principles of the BFS, we encourage participants to get involved where they can, and assist with the following:
Ensure your orders are submitted by the due date. Ensuring you have suitable storage containers for your order, and the containers are delivered prior to the dividing up day, unless you intend to be there yourself (Covid permitting). Assist with logistics such as transporting goods from suppliers or to other participants. Assist on dividing up days with bulk food order processing and weighing of goods.

Is the call to cook strong in you? Pictured, crumpets, with all non perishable ingredients from the bulk foods. When the urge takes me I can make most things knowing the ingredients are in the pantry, no running to the shops!

Last chance to get your orders in for Cycle 3. Our last for 2026.

Reminder bulk foodies. Our last 2026 order cycle closes next Thursday 15th October.

Someone recently inspired me to use up excess citrus by making cordial. 😋 Great gift idea if you’re thinking ahead for the silly season and refreshing summer beverages. We have sugar and citric acid if needed in your cordial recipes.

Our last order cycle for 2026 is now open until the 15th October. Time to fill up those empty jars and get ahead by ordering items you'll use over the coming months. Save yourself time and energy by buying in bulk.

Extremely sage advice from Organic & Regenerative Investment Co-operative. Why not use National Organic Week to change some habits. What other local shops or organic producers can I support?

Big shout-out to all the growers in our world.
National Organic Week is from 14-20 Sept. Let's together with feasts from our farms and gardens with our organic neighbours, friends and community. Add yours in the thread so we can give a shout out!

True Organic is food that is free of toxic chemicals, synthetic fertilisers and genetically modified products .....as Nature intended.
Look for seeds, grow your topsoil and earthworms, mulch, attract the bees and birds as pollinators and biological insect eaters, lie amongst the plants and listen to the hum of the .
Buy local. Support your local growers. Ask questions. Learn more about seasons. Taste. Flavour. Health. Wellness.
