Community Farm
A social enterprise providing training and employment opportunities through using sustainable land practices and speaking to the emerging issue of food security.
The Farm Planning team, including permaculture educator Graeme George, biodynamic farmer Ian Cuming, and zoo & national parks designer Jon Coe, has developed this plan for the ECOSS Community Farm.
The aims of the farm are to provide training & education opportunities, address food security issues, and create local employment and financial sustainability through community-owned enterprise.
Stage one of this plan has commenced in establishing a Plant Nursery & Market Garden. This enterprise will provide training and career pathway opportunities, and aims to supply local businesses and farmers markets with seedlings, vegetables and native plants.
Over the summer of 2012 a dam is being constructed to supply a continuous supply of water to the farm.
