Australia has a problem, a food waste problem! With over 7.6 million tonnes of food being wasted each year, costing the economy $36.6 billion, we need to take action!

We want to help you make a difference! If you’re an educator, please join us to celebrate World Teachers Day by getting out on the farm and starting your sustainability journey. Enjoy a tour of the beautiful Perth City Farm, and a workshop delivered in partnership with OzHarvest’s Food Education and Sustainability Training (FEAST) program.

You’ll get first-hand experience with PCF's tour format and a taster of the different topics that we focus on, including food production, waste management, animals & wildlife. We hope that your experience will inspire you to book a tour for your class/club in the future, so that we can share our knowledge and passion with your group.

After the tour (and a short break for tea or coffee from the café!) we’ll be heading indoors for a workshop about the FEAST program.

OzHarvest’s WA FEAST Education Coordinator, Eva Clarey, will explain how we can all do something about food waste; especially at home and school with OzHarvest’s FEAST program. This will be followed by a fun and easy cooking session using one of the delicious FEAST recipes with ingredients fresh from the farm.

Places are extremely limited and bookings essential. We hope to see you there!

We have some space for children up to 8yo to join free of charge, but please add a ticket for them on the next screen.
