Organic Farm

CERES farm demonstrates how an urban city farm can contribute to the local community by providing locally grown organic food, education in community food systems, a happening & ethical market place and employment for farmers, teachers and market workers.
All of these training, farm and enterprise programs intersect, share staff, participants and activities providing a wide range of experiences for an incredibly diverse group of people. CERES Organic Farm and Market employs 4 full time and 22 part time workers with all profits supporting other programs at CERES.

Through the week the farm is constantly changing; some days it’s a vibrant market place & social hub, on others a garden reconnecting restless students with land, food and work, to the weary it’s a sanctuary among the silverbeet from an over-busy city or while to parents it’s a place to introduce their kids to chooks, but most of all CERES is our farm; a place where people from along the Merri Creek can bring friends to see that a farm in the city is not only good for our spirits but indispensable to them.
