The Source Bulk Foods Geelong West is changing the way local families shop for groceries. Proudly serving the community for almost eight years, the store entered an exciting new chapter in November 2024 when husband-and-wife team Yolanda and Ben took over the reins, continuing its strong commitment to sustainability, health and community connection.
Dedicated to nourishing both people and planet, The Source Bulk Foods Geelong West has long championed zero-waste grocery shopping — well ahead of the major supermarket chains. The most noticeable difference for first-time visitors is the store’s package-it-yourself philosophy. Customers are encouraged to scoop products into reusable containers brought from home, paper bags, or glass jars purchased in store, empowering them to buy exactly what they need while reducing unnecessary packaging.
Long before it was mainstream, The Source Bulk Foods was plastic-bag free and a passionate advocate for the Zero Waste movement — a key reason Yolanda and Ben were drawn to the business. Today, around 70% of products are Australian sourced, including some outstanding Geelong and Surf Coast producers, reinforcing the store’s commitment to supporting local growers, suppliers and manufacturers wherever possible.
In store and online, customers will find hundreds of high-quality wholefoods, including organic, vegan, paleo and gluten-free options, along with reusable household products and an affordable Everyday Savings range of pantry staples.
With a strong focus on community, sustainability and conscious consumption, Yolanda and Ben are proud to continue building on the store’s legacy in Geelong West and look forward to bringing more locals along on the zero-waste journey.
