March 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Have you heard of Ooooby yet? Ooooby are the coolest, most eco-friendly little business ever. So what is Ooooby? First of all Ooooby actually means ‘out of our own back yards’ and that’s exactly what it is. If you are keen to eat locally grown food, from a farm, a community garden or someone’s back yard, Ooooby is for you. At Ooooby you can connect with food growers and ‘locavores’ (people who like to eat local food) from all over the world.  Does this sound like you? Read on. First of all – become a member. This is easily achieved by going to their website at http://www.ooooby.org and signing up. Ooooby is basically a social network that also provides a local food home-delivery service, buying food from local farmers and backyard growers and delivering this fresh produce to you on a weekly basis in the Auckland area.

There are currently over 4000 members of Ooooby who talk to each other about all sorts of things like gardening tips, seasonal recipes, keeping chooks and bees, preserving surplus food and lots of other interesting foodie things. You, as a member, can then find out who else in your neighbourhood is into growing and eating local food. Many local groups are now organising food bartering days and local meetings with like-minded folk. Check their Social Network here - http://ooooby.ning.com

Ooooby members are all part of the food revolution that is building huge momentum every day. People all over the world are returning to their own back yards and embracing the declining skill of growing and eating your own food from your own back yard. It is a lifestyle choice with the goal of eating as much as you can from your own local area.

Basically, you are probably just looking to have a fabulous box of fresh, locally sourced fruit and vegetables delivered to your home on a weekly basis. However, once you have become involved with the Ooooby culture of sustainable and local produce, you will undoubtedly want to learn more about the social and environmental advantages to be gained as well by growing and eating local food.
