Green Connect Farm’s Next Chapter
For many years, Green Connect has proudly been part of the national not-for-profit organisation Community Resources. Their support has helped Green Connect Farm grow into what it is today, and it will always be an important part of our history. However, after a strategic review, Community Resources will focus on scaling social enterprises that create employment opportunities at a larger level.
To ensure Green Connect Farm can continue to innovate and thrive, it will become an independent entity from 31 March 2025.
This transition allows Green Connect Farm to focus on growing fair food, helping people experiencing barriers to employment become work-ready, and engaging with our wonderful, loyal community.
While Ethical Labour Hire and Zero Waste Services will continue to operate within Community Resources, we’ll remain closely connected, ensuring strong job pathways for trained farm workers when they’re ready.
We’re excited for this next chapter and grateful for the support of our community. Thank you for being part of our journey!
