COVID-19 Update

Dear KABUU Supporters

Due to the current situation in VIC we have decided to pause our regular stall at Eltham Farmers' Market.
We are still as busy as ever growing fresh food and seedlings.

We would like to offer our regular patrons the opportunity to continue to receive our fresh produce.
Get in touch for more details (and let us know you are a regular Eltham Farmers' Market supporter).
Thank you for your continuing support and understanding.

Stay well
Richard

How we grow

Local
The farm site is located in Research, a suburb in Melbourne's north-east. We currently grow a modest amount of fresh produce and are in the process of expanding our growing space. We travel less than 5 km to the Eltham Farmers' Market for weekly sales.
Fresh
With a few exceptions (zucchinis, cucumbers, and tomatoes), our produce is harvested early each Sunday morning, just before the Eltham Farmers' Market opens (OK, in truth Richard will probably be running late and still harvesting as the market opens). We pride ourselves on bringing you the freshest possible produce. Minimising the time between harvest and sale also has environmental benefits: we don't need cold storage.
Organic
We grow organically because it's healthier for people and the planet. All inputs are approved for certified organic production. We don’t use any petrochemical-derived fertilisers or synthetic pesticides. (Please note that while we strictly follow organic guidelines we are not certified organic). We are more than happy to answer any questions and are open to be community audited.
Sustainable
We're thinking of the future. That's why we take sustainability seriously. In addition to growing organically, we put a lot of thought and effort into understanding the life cycle of our inputs. We source sustainable inputs, even when that means higher production costs. We believe it's worth it in the long run.
Fair
We're striving for a fair food system. Fair prices for consumers, fair pay for farmers and growers. This is a major challenge for small farms. We're exploring different models, including variations of community supported agriculture (CSA), in an attempt to find a solution that's fair for all.

Fresh produce direct to our community

Our goal is to supply our community with affordable, fresh food, whilst leaving the smallest possible ecological impact.

Farmers' Markets

Since 2014, we've been a regular stall holder at several farmers' markets around Melbourne. We currently hold a weekly stall at the Eltham Farmers' Market where we sell seedlings and fresh produce.

You may have met us at the Collingwood Children's Farm, Slow Food, or another market over the past few years.

Volunteer with us

There are opportunities for volunteers to learn to sow and raise seedlings and plant and harvest vegetables organically. Enjoy being involved in the whole food cycle, from seed to harvest, and contributing to truly sustainable local food production. Prior experience is not necessary.

Coming soon...

We are exploring options for a Community Supported Veggie Box. Will update soon - last updated March 2020.

Fresh.  Local.  Sustainable.  Fair
