On Thursday 29th October, Slow Food Noosa will be hosting a breakfast with guest speaker Bruce Molloy of Veggie Village.

Veggie Village is a community garden at Peregian Beach. The idea to start a garden came out of Bruce Molloy’s frustration when, after failing to grow veggies in sandy soil in his backyard, he came up with an idea to “Build a classroom and wait for the teachers to turn up“.

The teachers or Gurus as they’re now known have turned up en masse and hold regular workshops and working bees to teach “The Village People” how to grow veggies in individual and communal veggie patches.

EARLIER START TIME - 10AM!

Hey Folks.....please note the start time of 10am! See you there :)

What kind of a feast can we have using only food grown within 100km? Join in on this ongoing playful gastronomic experiment to celebrate foods grown by neighbours and local farmers, or growing wild in the soils of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

The Local Food Picnic will be held at the Blackall Range Growers' Market, Witta Road, Witta, this Saturday morning. Bring some tucker to share, sourced as locally as possible. The market itself is an excellent source of local foods, so feel free to dive in and see what you can find. If you just want to roll up and have a chat, don't fuss too much about what food you've got or haven't got or where it came from; you're most welcome to join the party!
