After hosting the successful Cities Feeding People Conference in 2007 Cultivating Community have joined forces with a broad range of passionate community food groups, agencies and local government to bring you the 2008 ‘Growers and Eaters Forum”.
It was a flurry of activity at the Spud Hunters Exhibit yesterday, as another day raced by at the 2008 Royal Melbourne Show. Run by Slow Food Victoria, Spud Hunters gives kids the opportunity to experience the joys of harvesting - with spuds! Raised beds of pine mulch provide simulated potato fields, that were periodically "harvested" by passing kids and then re-"planted" by a diligent team of volunteers.
