WE ARE...

We are Australian through and through!

For more than 13 years The Source has been dedicated to our mission of supporting Australian suppliers, farmers and small businesses. Today over 70% of the food we sell is grown or made right here in Australia! This means fewer food miles, fresher ingredients and stronger support for our local producers.

From locally grown and milled flours and wholesome grains to Aussie dried fruits, fresh Australian nuts, amazing chocolates, delicious local honey, locally made cleaning products and Australian grown oils our commitment to local sourcing helps strengthen communities across the country.

When you choose Australian made you’re not just nourishing your family with premium, fresh ingredients you’re investing in a more sustainable, low-waste food future from field to plate.

From our beginnings in beautiful Byron Bay, The Source has grown to over 40 stores across Australia, supported by a nationwide online store. Our team of more than 200 passionate people is dedicated to delivering the very best products from wholesome pantry staples to sustainable household essentials all with the friendliest, most down-to-earth service.

Each Source store is locally owned and operated by local families – a wonderful collection of passionate foodies and dedicated zero-wasters who live within the communities they serve. Committed to sustainability and local living, they bring genuine care and connection to everything they do.

Our store owners share three core passions:

  • a love for wholesome, nourishing food
  • a deep commitment to supporting local farmers and producers and
  • a dedication to reducing waste and protecting our planet.

Every Source store is a true reflection of its community.

The result? A nationwide network of local stores united by shared values and working together towards a more sustainable, community-focused future.
