Grasslands was established in March 1997 as a means  of supporting innovative
community projects and an end  in itself by supplying products that are good for
the producer, consumer and the environment. It is collectively run by a small group of people and the majority of the work is on an unpaid/volunteer basis.
Grasslands has provided over $70,000 to a range of community groups including:
- Asylum Seeker Resource Centre
- Food Not Bombs
- Human Rights Centre for Mental Health Inc.
- Independent media groups such as
Community Radio 3CR and The Paper
- Inner West Community Garden Collective
- and many other community groups, campaigns and actions

We have developed a sustainable trading policy with an emphasis on providing products that are: certified organic/biodynamic; free of animal ingredients; minimally processed/packaged;
healthy to use; affordable; locally made; produced by small enterprises that have good working conditions and who are not involved in other unethical or unsustainable practices.
