The farm’s purpose is ‘to be an inspirational working model of a community-based urban permaculture farm, which promotes and educates for an ecologically and socially sustainable society’. For this reason, learning and education are embedded in everything we do. We provide opportunities for people of all ages to learn about permaculture and sustainable living through our structured education program of courses and workshops for people of all ages. We often evaluate our activities and make changes to improve them. We also encourage volunteers to learn by doing, as well as providing regular informal training sessions for them.

Northey Street City Farm is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council through the Environment Grants program.
We pay respects to the Traditional Custodians of the Country Northey Street is on – the Jagera and Turrbal peoples.
