In 2026, SAGE Food and Knowledge Shares will be hosted every Sunday in Riverside Park from 1 February to 26 April (excluding 1 March -Cobargo Folk Festival), from 10am to 11am.
If raining, the event will move undercover to the SAGE Gardens at 110 Queen St, Moruya.
The joy of backyard food gardening is even better when shared with like-minded people!
They offer a way for backyard growers to share food and conversation with the community.
SAGE is delighted to once again be teaming up with Andy of The Nourished Sovereign coffee, tonic and food van who is a champion of growing the local food community.
SAGE coordinator Lindsay Gates is passionate about community food and knowledge sharing and will be welcoming newcomers and regulars to each event.
“We will be there every Sunday to share our excess garden produce and introduce a local food grower or cook to share their knowledge about growing and eating local. Our aim is to grow the community and foster local food resilience in all ways. Through sharing experience, recipes, growing skills and mistakes we hope to build connections and inspire new backyard gardeners.
“We understand that many households are too busy to garden and we genuinely invite you to take advantage of our bounty and feel empowered knowing you will be eating chemical free food grown with love. Everyone is welcome and you don’t need to bring anything. All ages are welcome and we will have “magic” bean seeds for kids to take home and plant,”. says Lindsay Gates.
People who can bring items to share can contribute vegetables, fruits, eggs, seedlings/seeds, cookbooks, gardening books, tools, preserves and plants.
