The most urban agriculture project in Australia, this is a commercial farm two km from the CBD. There’s a lot of talk about sustainable food production in cities, but there are very few examples—these kids have done an excellent job. During the day you can wander the plot, taste their produce at Acre Eatery, sign up for a workshop, or volunteer on the farm. Say hi to Zag—Michael Zagoridis—the farm manager. He and co-founder Emma are students of mine. He’s there Tuesday to Saturday 9 to 5, so ask for tips on improving your veggie garden. His experience is in organic practices and local food systems, so he’s the perfect person to advise people living in big cities.
