Perth City Farm

Perth City Farm is a 26 year old Urban Farm that provides space and opportunities to build community connections, and educates and enables people to live sustainably. Established on a former industrial site in East Perth, this polluted site has been lovingly rehabilitated by volunteers to become a Western Australian icon for environmental sustainability and community engagement. We operate our half-hectare site as a vibrant community orientated platform that provides the following: A Haven for Perth (and the world) Our garden is a welcoming oasis in a busy city that allows visitors to pause and reconnect with themselves, others, nature and spirit. Volunteers from all walks of life are included and supported to contribute to their community. A Model for kinder ways of living We model sustainable living practices so our visitors can learn and implement kinder ways to live. We model best practice food growing and sustainable events, we educate through tours, workshops and onsite signage, and we facilitate behaviour change with our Re-use and Recycle Centre. We share these skills throughout Perth with our City Greening and Education enterprises. A Hub for others to create Our unique central space serves as a hub for other groups who are also working for a kinder world. Community groups deliver their own programming, ethical farmers gather weekly at the Farmers Market and we host an activist co-working space. We collaborate to run regular special events that weave our educational messages into joyous community celebrations such as the ‘Kambarang’, ‘Harvest’ and ‘Love the Earth’ festivals.
