Getting more food to local people - have your say at our visioning sessions!

​Are you a local grower, producer of food related items, distributor, veg box scheme host, or just interested in buying more of your food locally? If so, we need you!!

We are hosting a Community visioning session ‘Getting more local food to local people’ on Saturday 20th November from 2-4pm at the Community hall in Bass, 2-4 Bass School Road.  For those that can’t make the in-person session, there will be a similar session run online on Thursday 25th of November from 7-830pm.
We want to hear from you about our local food system, what you think is working, what is not working, what you would like to see happening and what are some of the ways we can work together to make that happen? 

This session will be hosted by the current Steering group of the ‘Bass Coast Food Collective’ a consortium of local organisations, growers and passionate people, who would like to see better systems in place. This group got together to put an application into council to help put together a Business case for the Collective and find better ways to get local food to local people. Bass Coast Landcare Network is auspicing this grant. We need your input!
Meet other local growers, increase your networks, create new connections, find out new places to get local food from, discuss challenges and opportunities and put forward your views in this facilitated session. There will also be an opportunity to talk in small groups to brainstorm ideas.
These are free sessions, however bookings are essential so we can set up for everyone, and are now open at the links below. If you can, please bring along a little something to share for afternoon tea at the live session on the 20th. We would love to hear from you!
