Stories from Our Community Our co-operative is built on trust and connection. We've gathered reviews from our users to share their real experiences and help you see how we're building a more resilient food system together.
“I love the farm-to-plate concept, and the Kai Suppliers directory on this website makes it so easy. I’ve found a few incredible local producers for fresh eggs, honey, and seasonal vegetables that I didn’t even know existed. The platform is simple to navigate, and it feels great to know that I’m supporting local vendors and getting amazing, high-quality products. This is exactly the kind of service our community needs.”
“I discovered this site looking for local food events, and I’m so glad I did! The Kai Events section is a hub for everything from gardening workshops to community feasts. I recently attended a ‘backyard composting’ session, and it was not only incredibly informative but also a great way to meet fellow food enthusiasts. The calendar is easy to use and always updated. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the community.”
“I’ve been an avid home gardener for years, but the Troppo Tropical Urban Food Forest section of this site is a game-changer. The resources, tips, and insights they provide on tropical plants and permaculture are fantastic. I’ve learned so much about companion planting and creating a more resilient garden. It’s inspiring to see a local initiative with so much knowledge to share. A must-visit for any gardener in the region!”
Our Heart and Soul "Kai resilience" refers to a community's ability to create a secure, sustainable, and self-sufficient local food system. It's about empowering people to grow, share, and access healthy food, reducing reliance on external and vulnerable supply chains.
