NSCF’s Management Committee is a team responsible for the financial and legal accountability of the City Farm.
Hi! We are honored to have the opportunity to serve the Farm community in this capacity and are excited about what can now be achieved with such a strong history of local permaculture to draw on, and with the support and guidance of an actively engaged Farm membership.

The Farm demonstrates that urban environments can be good places to live, where food can be grown and all types of people included. Our suburbs can be insular and isolating places but initiatives such as the City Farm enhance our communities and instill a sense of place and belonging.
We hope to meet you in person at Farm events and meetings throughout the year.
