Spaces are still available for the following exciting and informative sustainable living workshops:

Saturday 28 August

Fermenters Kitchen 9 am to 4 pm
Limited places. Expand your bacterial horizons, cultivate your prebiotic oligosaccharides and join us for a day of cultured beverages, foraged fruits, pickled veggies and other wild microbial wonders. In this hands-on workshop you’ll learn the art of traditional food processing and get to sample and enjoy healthy and nutritious fermented foods.

To book or for more information, please contact us or download a booking form.  Or why not give the gift of sustainable living to a loved one with a Workshop Gift Voucher?

This upcoming election day (Saturday 21 August), step out and have your say about some things at NSCF as well!  We are hosting a morning forum from 9:30am – 12:30pm to gather input into our current Sustainability Project.
Please note that it’s not on the 14th, as incorrectly advised through some other sources.

This will provide an opportunity for our members and those not regularly involved in farm chats under the mango tree to help us be more self-reliant as an organisation, and be a better model for “living sustainably in the city”.

• What are better/more creative ways City Farm can generate its own core funding so we can continue providing services?
• What other outside sources of funding and resources can CF tap into?
• Environmental sustainability – what can we do better or differently?
• And caring for people – how do we attract and support our members, volunteers and staff?

There will be facilitated processes around getting input on these on the day, so we can feed the information to our Teams and Management Committee. We also invite people to email community@nscf.org.au with suggestions – by 25^th August please.

And speaking of keeping sustained – there will be a delicious lunch provided for all participants!

This monthly of  recent news and upcoming events is emailed to all members and subscribers.  Continue reading for this month’s issue and the opportunity to sign up for future updates. (more…)
