We are passionate about helping people achieve a greater level of personal food security by sharing the knowledge and skills needed to grow food. We deliver our services to the highest professional standards.
We have specific expertise in Food Security and Rural Sustainable Development and more than 20 years combined practical experience developing a climate resilient sustainable food system on our own farm.
We use innovative techniques to develop food systems that are low input, low waste and utilise primarily recycled materials. We inspire our clients and show them how to use their imagination, think outside the square and develop incredibly productive gardens for little cost.
We believe that everyone should have access to healthy, fresh, affordable food or the knowledge and skills to grow their own.
We operate as a social enterprise, raising funds through the sales of products and delivery of design and consultation services for environmental projects that improve outcomes for local threatened species and by providing our skills, knowledge and resource to people in need.
Our farm is located on the boundaries of land that was managed in a sustainable way for tens of thousands of years by the peoples of the Ngunnwal, Wiradjuri and Gundagarra nations. We acknowledge the ongoing pain and injustice that resulted from the displacement of traditional owners from this land and all of their lands. We respect the knowledge of traditional owners past and present, and the special relationship they have with their country. We recognize that it is only thanks to past sustainable land management practices that enables us to still use the land as a source of food and shelter today.
Our vision is that everyone have access to locally grown, affordable, nutrient rich food or the skills, knowledge and resources to grow their own, both now and in the future.
