The cooperative’s philosophy revolves around sustainability, community engagement, and ethical food practices. By fostering a sense of belonging and shared responsibility, Source serves as a community space for the Hobart region, hosting concerts, workshops, and external events that promote a culture of collaboration and environmental stewardship.
