Fawkner Food Bowls is a community urban farm run by volunteers. Our day-to-day activity plays a core role in Merri-Bek’s Food System Strategy and includes the communal running of a market garden, a volunteer program three days a week, and hosting many events such as working bees and cultural celebrations that provide opportunities for social connection. We are currently supported by Merri-Bek’s Food Hub initiative in partnership with Merri Food Hub and Growing Farmers Inc. to grow and distribute a wide range of culturally relevant produce weekly.
What’s important to us?
Addressing local food security through growing and distributing food
Supporting social cohesion within our diverse community
Building community resilience in the face of climate change
