First Saturday of the month, 9am, North Freo Social Farm

The first Saturday of each month is our Little Pantry Store!

We are open from 9am until sold out. Pop by and stock up on bulk honey (BYO jar), jams, chutneys and dried goods all hand made in Freo with mostly Farm grown produce. 

All proceeds go straight back into the Farm. 

Saturday 16 September, 9.30am to 11.30pm, North Freo Social Farm

Chickens are great pets, with extra benefits: they provide eggs, produce fertiliser, control insects and weeds, and eat kitchen scraps. Guest presenter Lindsay will cover housing, feeding, chicken health, different breeds - and how to get started with your own small flock. 

Lindsay Miles is an educator, speaker, author and passionate sustainable living advocate. She dreamed about keeping chickens for twenty years before she finally adopted her first flock in 2020. Since then her chicken obsession (and flock size) has grown considerably.
 

Cost: $10 for members, $25 non-members, $30 Grow the Farm. New social members always welcome, become a member here!
