EOIs are invited to join Stepping Stone Farm as a co-farmer located just 8 km out ofMoruya on the South Coast NSW.
Moruya is a service town for a rich rural area known for dairying, cattle, vegetables, fish, and oysters. It’s a great place to live and is known for its strong farming community, with two weekly markets in Riverside Park, arts and culture, family-friendly amenities, and access to both the Moruya River and nearby coastal beaches.
The farm offers small land areas (1000m2 - 3000m2 ) with good soil, water, infrastructure, equipment and machinery to 2 or 3 new or experienced growers.
This opportunity will suit aspiring market gardeners seeking a low-cost solution to starting their own business. It will also continue the SAGE mission of growing the local fair food community.
The farm is fully serviced with a comprehensive irrigation system, use of equipment, machinery and wash and process facilities on a shared basis. Go to https://www.sageproject.org.au/pages/sage-farm for more information on the farm.
The new growers can operate independently, but opportunities for collaboration and support, as well as the network of existing skilled growers and markets, are features of this community-developed and supported project. The award-winning SAGE Farmers Market, located just 10 minutes from the farm, is an added bonus, offering an established, year-round sales outlet.
Successful applicants will sign a simple licence agreement, tenancy will be for a minimum period of 12 months. Costs can be expected to be in the range of $1.50 to $1.75 pa per square metre for open beds, poly tunnels will attract a 100% premium.
