25.01.2022 Broad beans are on! Rach super volunteer at the #communitydemonstrationfarm helped harvest these beauties last week for #outoftheboxsunraysia #biodynamicfarming #communityfarming

24.01.2022 Being part of this network is so inspiring. Thank you SENVIC for bringing all this important work together, showcasing it, and spreading the love for social enterprise. And thank you to all the people and organisations working to make our world a better and kinder place.

23.01.2022 We were super excited when Mallee District Aboriginal Services - Mildura, Swan Hill, Kerang, Robinvale contacted us about sourcing some local organic fruit & veg from Out of the Box Sunraysia for their Early Learning program. The first boxes went out last week - the start of a new collaboration for our community. Check out the link in the post below for the full story. #collaborationisbetter #supportlocal

23.01.2022 Calendulas at the #communitydemonstrationfarm in front of a broad bean forest. The change of weather has brought an explosion of growth and so much beauty

23.01.2022 We'll be propagating our own plants at the Community Farm and the propagation house is looking great. Thanks Pete and Jimmy Carr for all your help

22.01.2022 Ben and joselyne made tunnel houses for the lettuce yesterday Should make the little plants a bit more comfortable in this heat! #foodnextdoortrainingprogram #smallscalefarming #communityfarming

22.01.2022 First #fullmoonmarket at @livewellmildura beautiful evening, great vibes, spruiking #localfood #smallscalefarmers and #organicfood and #outoftheboxsunraysia

21.01.2022 Our little experiment - Khorasan wheat, bursting with heads. An ancient variety of wheat, we are trialing it at the Community Farm in partnership with Gio's Bread.

20.01.2022 Want to contribute to your community in a low-stress weekly role surrounded by beautiful fresh produce (and wonderful people!). Check out this volunteer opportunity at our weekly box scheme headquarters on Thursday mornings

20.01.2022 Jonai Farm and Meatsmiths is a place of beauty and inspiration. Tammi and Stuart have built a community farm around values of caring for the land, respect for the animals and a culture of learning and sharing with the community that live and work with them on the farm. The area of the farm where the pigs live is like a village! This is an inspiration to our work and a vision of the possibilities. Thank you Jonai Farm #regenerativefarming #communityfarming

19.01.2022 Sharing this beautiful post from one of our many wonderful volunteers, Shalbe Welsh, who’s taking part in a #rationchallenge this week. It’s just a glimpse of a different life and we hope that our work at Food Next Door is helping make the world a better place for former refugees here in Australia, just like Shalbe is! . Jimmy and Shalbe are auctioning off their fresh produce box this week - donate to their challenge (link below) and add OOTB after your name for a chance to w...in a local produce Out of the Box Sunraysia box. . The winner will be drawn at 2pm and the box can be picked up from Clove Organic Shop & Cafe. Mildura. . Day one: I didn’t think My body could handle the rations for a week. Jimmy doesn’t want to eat the vegetable or protein we are rewarded from the money we have raised because it takes away from the experience. He is doing completely fine and I have a pounding headache. Time to sleep for 12 hours. Day two: I can do this! My coworkers uplift me and taste everything at work. I allow myself some garlic as my vegetable reward & I feel like I have overcome the hunger and that it was all in my head. Day three: Cry most the day over every little thing. Toast up rice as a crunchy snack. Rice brain in real. Feeling guilty about how privileged I am, feeling scared for my body, and honestly, feeling generally depressed. BUT! The amount of support you all have shown, and the amount we are able to generate to donate to refugees makes it sooooo worth it. I love you all. Thank you for helping me make it through this week, and thank you for helping save refugees lives.

18.01.2022 Joel and Butros in a field of peas! Harvesting at the #communitydemonstrationfarm for #outoftheboxsunraysia

18.01.2022 Phew! Some kangaroos ate the peas at the River Farm, but they are recovering well. They must be sweet Four farmer members are growing these peas, we can't wait to taste them.

18.01.2022 The past two weeks our farmer members have been mowing their patches at the Community Farm ready for spring planting. Thanks to Mr Joel we have been able to safely train everyone one-by-one and farmers are happy to be learning new skills and look after their land.

16.01.2022 It’s caterpillar season! Thanks @peter.webb.75470 for teaching us how to use the spray unit and dipel, we treated two patches of maize at the #riverfarm today. #organicpesticide #farminglife #communityfarming

16.01.2022 We are so proud to be launching this groundbreaking initiative and to be working with such a strong and innovative board. Thanks to @DELWP @Adapt Loddon Mallee for supporting this work that will put more control back into the hands of small-scale farmers. Hooray!

16.01.2022 Pete in the Polytunnel! Just in time for these spring winds that are starting...

13.01.2022 You know those broad beans we turned back into the soil? We left a row for seed and harvested 4 huge bags! Plenty for next year #communitydemonstrationfarm #biodynamicfarming

09.01.2022 Those carrots from the #communitydemonstrationfarm are SO good roasted whole. Throw some roast beetroots (golden and red) and chopped spring onion from @bensbonafidefood , tarragon and feta from @bethunelanedairy into a bowl with the roasted carrots. Whisk some @bawdensfarm olive oil & fresh lemon and toss it all together. AMAZING and 100% local #knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom #supportlocal

09.01.2022 We've loved watching the magnificent green manure crop develop at the Community Farm. It's all gone now ready for spring plantings after having enriched the soil with nutrients and minerals, captured and sequestered carbon in the soil, and aerated the soil with root growth.

08.01.2022 Today!! Jules and Deb are super excited to be part of this event today and looking forward to the conversation. Hope you’re joining us!

07.01.2022 #outoftheboxsunraysia subscribers and volunteers Jimmy and Shalbe are taking the @actforpeace #rationchallenge to raise money for refugees in camps.

02.01.2022 Yesterday the #RiverFarm was crowded with farmers weeding their patch. Six new migrant farmers have a plot here and have been growing peas over winter. They use farming skills from their home and are learning new techniques for our environment and climate - like irrigation! #communityfarming #landsharing
