First of all thank you to our regular veg scrap donors for your patience during covid-19 and the temporary closure of the compost bins. As restrictions are easing, we are opening the Community Composting System again. It’s wonderful that so many people are involved in this system and dedicated to converting their scraps into soil instead of…

The two films were about regenerative agriculture and, after watching them and going down a few other rabbit holes,…
It’s been such an exciting time to take our events online! Making the most of connecting with individuals and communities who live outside the local Bondi area… and that was most certainly the case at our most recent event Film & (home)Feast: Regenerative Agriculture.
