Dyserth Community Food Co-op is a volunteer run fruit and vegetable co-operative supported by the Rural Regeneration Unit and the Welsh Assembly Government. It is based in the Paterson Hall at Dyserth Chapel and is open every Wednesday between 10.00am and 1.00pm  Anyone can become a member of the co-op, which supplies vegetables, fruit and salad items at a very reasonable cost - just £3.00 per bag of veg, fruit or salad, or £1.50 for a smaller bag of fruit or veg. We also supply a mixed bag of veg, fruit and salad for £3.00 and a 'stew pack' of vegetables for £1.00. Also for sale each week are loose bananas, baking potatoes and other occasional produce such as grapefruit or satsumas. All produce is supplied by a Alan Huson from Hawarden and some is also grown locally when in season.
Just come along on a Wednesday morning if you want to find out more.
