Dear Friends and Family,

After some persistence and patience and a good bit of divine energy (or luck) we have just signed a lease on a certified organic bio-dynamic property in Yarra Glen to begin our first CSA veggie box shares.The process of creating ‘community food hubs’ has now begun for those wanting to receive a weekly veggie box of vegies straight from the field. Currently there is interest to form groups in Upwey, Northcote/Brunswick and Eltham.  You can visit the farm every Tuesday and Friday from 10am to Dark (7pm latest during summer) and also monthly weekend field days and events...

Information as to how it will work, how to participate and further information can be found by following the links under"Our CSA Yarra Valley"  in the "Find a Group" menu on the right.

Vibrant living is an exploration into the more subtle and sacred elements associated with our food. The questions we explore as we grow our food include;

How can we hold a sacred connection to our food, ourselves, each other and our planet?

What difference in nutrition and wellbeing does it make having our food grown with love and connection to Kosmic Rhythms?

How can we best achieve a farm model that covers our worldly concerns of climate change, food security, land stewardship, spiritual fulfilment and community empowerment?

All of these questions arise from our teams diverse background and experience. Permaculture, yoga, meditation, acupuncture, art-therapy, organic and biodynamics are just a few of the influences of our philosophy and farming methods. We seek a truly wholistic approach to farming and community and invite you to explore this journey with us...

Community Supported Agriculture is a commitment between food growers and the community to share the risks and benefits of growing local, fresh and wholesome food. The community receives quality local produce knowing how and where their food was produced and the grower receives a fair wage backed by community support and commitment.
