In the SAGE Plan, we have identified a number of community groups with whom to develop stronger connections. One such group is our established farmers in the Eurobodalla.
Part of our mission is to gather and share knowledge. We recognise that there exists a wealth of local knowledge that we have barely tapped since we began in 2009.
SAGE acknowledges that while approaches to food production vary greatly, we have more to unite us than divide us and our community has much to gain by farmers of all philosophies strengthening their connection to each other.

We acknowledge the traditions of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People, the Djuwin Nation, in particular the local Brinja Djuwin and Walbanga people, on whose land SAGE grows and celebrates food.
There is a rising consciousness of the agricultural heritage of Australia’s first people. We seek to connect with the keepers of this knowledge and discover what role SAGE can play in both preserving it and applying it to modern food production.We also recognise the benefit to individual and community wellbeing when different cultural groups come together through the universal practice of gardening.Through schools and other organisations, SAGE seeks to be guided in building our connection to the Koori community respectfully and harmoniously.
SAGE is pleased to acknowledge the contributions of the Eurobodalla Shire Council as an enabler of many of our projects.
From sourcing the site for the SAGE Garden, to a cooperative approach in overcoming development issues, to an enthusiastic response to establishing our farmers market and assistance in obtaining grant funding for the creation of our innovative e-market, Council has demonstrated that the objectives of a community organisation can be — and need to be — supported in ways beyond direct funding.
