Meet our new team members!

Georgia Savage

GENERAL MANAGER

Georgia’s background is in public health and community development. In 2012 she discovered a new passion for food (selling it, growing it, eating it!) and saw first hand it’s ability to connect community in meaningful ways. Georgia was in fact one of the first employees at The Community Grocer way back then. In the years since, Georgia has built her experience running operations for a number of not-for-profit organisations and has sat on Boards for Farmer Incubator, The Community Grocer and the Gordon Farmgate (where she lives in Western Victoria). Georgia’s favourite vegetables are from the brassica family - broccoli and kale, which grows perfectly in the cold climate where she lives.

Mon Enriquez

FITZROY MARKET MANAGER

Mon’s love for food originates from their love for community. They have worked in community spaces, collaborating closely with young people, queer communities and people from migrant and refugee backgrounds on projects that work to platform their perspectives and foreground their agency. And while it hasn’t been a central part of their work, bringing people together over food - whether its with family, friends or community - is one of their favourite things to do. Mon’s favourite produce changes with the season, at the moment it’s neither fruit, nor veg - it’s the humble mushroom!
