WHAT WE DO

At Green Connect, we create jobs, reduce waste and grow fair food. We do this in five ways:

CREATE JOBS

We employ young people and former refugees,  who thrive in safe, welcoming, supportive workplaces

FAIR FOOD

We grow fair food on our urban farm, that’s good for the people who eat it, the people who grow it and the planet

REDUCE WASTE

We reduce waste through our Zero Waste services for businesses and events and our innovative Op Shops

CONNECT COMMUNITY

We connect the community, because together we are happier, more productive and can solve anything

SUSTAINABLE

We run a sustainable business, with more than 80% of our expenses covered by income from trade

WE’RE FOR PEOPLE & PLANET, NOT FOR PROFIT​

Last year Green Connect

Employed 111 young people and former refugees

Kept 157 tonnes of waste
out of landfill

Grew and distributed
35,118 kg of fair food

WHAT’S ON

Connect with nature and introduce sustainability practices in your life?
Green Connect holds regular workshops at the farm.

We do great things for the planet and the community. Help us to do more.

80% of the work that we do to train, support and employ young people and former refugees is funded through trade (the goods and services that we sell). We rely on grants and donations for the remaining 20%. This means that every $1 you donate does $5 of good.

OUR PROJECTS

We work with and within our community and connect with others to create and grow our work.

BUY A GIFT VOUCHER

Give a gift that helps the planet and the community.
Green Connect gift vouchers can be redeemed for veg boxes, tours and workshops, op shop purchases, tree planting and even a chicken donation!

“Before I started at Green Connect I was very shy and scared to talk to people because my English was not very good, but now I have so much self-confidence and I believe in myself.”
