Update from the farm
We’ve had a busy spring at the farm:
-
More than 120kg of food including leafy greens, herbs, radishes and snowpeas were harvested, donated to Ozharvest and used in its programs providing meals to people experiencing food insecurity.
-
Teams of corporate volunteers helped progress with our orchard sheet mulching project.
-
Around 70 inner Sydney community gardeners joined us at the community growers morning and took part in seed swaps, where over 250 packets of seed saved from the farm was distributed.
-
Soil has been enriched with compost and manure, to increase its water holding capacity ready for the hot weather.
-
We installed 2 large shade umbrellas which will be great for education programs and volunteer activities.
-
Farm volunteers at our end of year volunteer celebration enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea and a fascinating presentation from Bush to Bowl about bush tucker and cultural plants.
As well as growing crops over summer, some farm areas will be left fallow, and others seeded with green manure.
Thank you to everyone who visited the farm and got involved in our programs this year. And a big shout out to all our amazing volunteers who keep things ticking along at the farm. We wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas.
