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.
WHAT’S IN YOUR VEG BOX
Weekly updates on what’s happening at the farm and what produce is in season.

“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.”
