Volunteering at the Urban Farm is a great opportunity to learn about permaculture, organic growing, regenerative agriculture, bio dynamics and growing on the Sunshine Coast.
Meet like-minded gardeners and green thumbs while getting some practical hands-on experience.
Anyone can volunteer and we suit tasks to people's skill levels and abilities.
Whether your interest is in sustainable gardening techniques, healthy produce, growing food, meeting and chatting with others or spending quiet time with plants and nature, the Urban Farm has much to offer.
Here at The Urban Farm we're promoting composting in Maroochydore.
We're diverting food scraps away from landfill and into our hot-composting system. Food scraps in landfill creates methane gas which is harmful to the atmosphere, whereas composted food transforms into Black Gold, a top quality compost soil to feed plants. Come down and speak to our staff to learn more or if you have any questions.
Get composting! Even better get a friend composting!
Even better get a community composting!
Our goal at the Urban Farm is to make a full-loop food/waste system:
Fresh produce >> dining table >> waste >> compost >> soil >> back to fresh produce again.
We want to have a full loop food/waste system with you too!
When you drop off food waste you have the opportunity to pick out and purchase some of our delicious seasonal produce at the same time. All proceeds go toward supporting the community through the Maroochy Neighbourhood Centre. Makes sense!
This is our compost sign at the farm. please follow the instructions. The compost bin is situated next to the sheds in the opposite corner from the main entrance. Thank you!
