Our Hub
The Farm is a hub where other organisations with similar vision and purpose can find a home. Being in the same place makes it easy for us to collaborate and grow. We also welcome start-ups in the field of regenerative agriculture and sustainable food systems.
Global Worming
Global Worming has one of their worm farms in the south-east corner of the Farm. Millions of worms do valuable work by converting food waste into vermicompost, one of the best tonics for regenerating our soils. Global Worming is run by Cid Riley, a valued member of our farm community, who provides regular vermicultural workshops and tours. Our propagation shed runs on Global Worming juice – it’s good stuff!

Canberra Seed Savers Cooperative
How does a Seedy Saturday sound? Canberra Seed Savers is a co-operative network of backyard growers and farmers who grow, save and share locally-adapted herb and vegetable seeds. They meet regularly in our super shed for seedy business and offer regular workshops to educate and inspire more gardeners to save seeds. You can subscribe to their newsletter and pick up some of their seeds inside our Local Energy Super Shed (LESS) via an honesty box (open during our working bees and events).
