City Farm Summer Garden Harvest
The City Farm's Summer Garden helped Sydneysiders reconnect with the soil by offering a rich, educational program all about farm-fresh food. It's sad to say goodbye now that autumn's come, but they're sending the program off in style by hosting a grand harvest finale and hoedown.
Overview
It's sad to say goodbye now that autumn's come, but City Farm is sending the program off in tasty style by hosting a grand harvest finale and hoedown. We tend to be woefully out of touch with the earth in the city. The City Farm's Summer Garden initiative, however, has helped Sydneysiders reconnect to the soil by offering a rich, educational program all about getting farm-fresh food from sustainable local sources.
Sourcing ingredients from the garden itself, TMOD and Yulli's brainchild The Veggie Patch Food Van will be serving up dishes that combine ultimate freshness with artistic flair. OzHarvest will also be on hand to inspire ecological thinking with tips on how to reduce food waste at home. This nonprofit rescues excess food that would otherwise become landfill and passes it on to needy bellies helping both people and the environment. Good food demands good music, so three-piece bluegrass band Oh Willy Dear (who have recently delighted ears at the Union, Arcadia Liquors and the Old Fitzroy) will provide the jig-worthy soundtrack to it all.
