Evening all!
It’s been an amazing semester 1, here’s to an even better semester 2!
For now, we close our doors for a little restful period to get recharged back into action on the Tuesday 9th of July. Today was our last day of trade and I’m happy to say that the leftover muffins found good homes ;)
We loved seeing students take the veggies that we had left too! ❤️ Happy to say we had ZERO wasted.
There are a few things in the works for next semester - including deals and maybe even the spot of free things and giveaways so keep your eyes and ears out for those 😘
Until then, all you lovely people who make Realfoods, I hope you have a tremendous break and keep your hearts and bellies warm in this cold period (thanks to the not so fabulous insulation of melbourne housing 😅)
Ciao for now ❤️
That’s a wrap for us this week folks!
See you all back on Tuesday - for those of studious nature still coming by for coffee 😘
Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers for saving the day (And Ashish more than once!)
