Farm It Forward is a charitable youth organisation running socio-environmental care programs for high school aged young people that focus on culturally aware and trauma informed youth support through growing, cooking and eating nutrient-dense fresh food.
We facilitate regenerative food production on already available, unused land, using earth friendly community care practices. Our work is centred around high school-aged young people in areas of social disadvantage as we believe in growing fresh food as an avenue for building skills, confidence and positive relationships, for greater mental, social and physical health.
We’re building a shed
Sydney City Council provided us with a grant to purchase a new shed which sits proudly at the eastern end of the garden. The installation of a ramp and stairs is on the way.
