We welcome new members to the Farm. Surrounded by the Jerrabomberra Wetlands, we are also home to many small insect-eating birds, who work hard with their human companions to keep the garden and farm areas healthy in a sustainable, organic way. We also have the bees from the ACT Beekeepers Association’s hives working to pollinate our trees and plants.
If you would like to join us, please fill in the membership form and come along to a Working Bee or a Farm Tour on Sunday or Monday at 10:00 am by emailing info@ccfarm.org.au and putting “Farm Tours” in the subject line. Other times are possible by arrangement – at the same contact.

Events
IMPORTANT MESSAGE The Committee is seeking to encourage members and friends of the City Farm to become actively involved in current and new opportunities the farm is offering. For more information about these opportunities, please see the Committee’s letter here.
Special Event: We are pleased to be able to host David Holmgren and Su Dennett to the farm on Wed 18 June. Come and spend a relaxed and informal afternoon with David and Su where you will have the opportunity to meet them up close and ask questions. This is an essential discussion for anyone interested in environmental sustainability, creating positive change in their community, and building a more resilient, equitable, and regenerative world for all. Includes afternoon tea and optional tour of the Canberra City Farm. For more details click here.
Workshops: We are planning a series of workshops during winter. The first will be on 15 June. It will be on growing myoga in the Canberrra climate. Details of this workshop and others which will be held during winter can be found on here.
Monthly Mingles: Monthly Mingles are usually held on the third Sunday of the month. There will be a break from this pattern in June and the Monthly Mingle will be replaced by the Winter Solstice celebration on 22 June. More details can be found on our Events page here.
Working Bees: Everyone is welcome to attend our working bees. These are held every Monday, Thursday and Sunday between 10 am and 12:30 pm. For more details click here.
Plant Clinics will now be held at the weekend working bees. If you have been having problems trying to identify pests and diseases which are affecting your garden plants and you don’t know how to deal with them, then a visit to the plant clinic may help. If your plants are not thriving in your soil, perhaps you need some advice on how to make you soil more plant friendly. All gardening questions are welcome. Keith Colls will be happy to answer any of your gardening questions. PLEASE NOTE, if you are bringing diseased plant material or pest insects from home please ensure they are in a sealed plastic bag or glass bottle so they do not contaminate the City Farm gardens.
