Common Ground Project's Pop-Up Food Hub

Overview

Hospitality crew The Mulberry Group isn't just behind well-loved inner-city eateries like Hazel, Dessous and Lilac Wine. It also founded and runs Freshwater Creek's Common Ground Project — a social enterprise and regenerative community farm aimed at strengthening local food systems.

And on Monday, May 8, that project will be making its way to the big smoke for a one-day pop-up food market held in collaboration with VicHealth. Head along to the atrium at Hazel from 2pm and you'll be met with a heaving array of fresh produce and other locally-crafted wares.

There'll be loads of fresh fruit, veg and herbs grown onsite at the farm, offering a first-hand taste of the work Common Ground Project is doing. A range of condiments and other goodies made in the Hazel kitchen will be on offer if you're in the market for more tasty things to stock your pantry, too.

What's more, the team will be there to share more about their efforts and to chat about the regular programs and workshops they run — from masterclasses in backyard food production to community feasts.
