We were pleased to receive a donation of $1500 recently from Natural Solutions towards a solar hot water system for our kitchen. We thank them for this kind donation.

Natural Solutions provides environmental consultancies throughout the region. To learn more, please visit www.naturalsolutions.com.au.

Pictured above, at the presentation, are Genevieve Wills (Management Committee Secretary), Jane Davissen (representing Natural Solutions), Bella Teggins (Emerging Permaculturist) and Mal Teggins (NSCF Management Committee & Permaculture Design Group).

If your business would like to make a donation to the farm for this or another project, or enter into a partnership, please contact our office.

NSCF would like to thank all the performers, participants and volunteers who made the 2008 festival such a memorable event.
