Agriculture in Abbotsford: Walking Tour with CCF & AFM

Join us in Abbotsford for a guided tour behind the scenes of this thriving urban agriculture precinct.

Meet at the Collingwood Children's Farm (CCF) stall on St Helier's St, and come for a tour around the new CCF market garden. Hear stories from horticulturalist Rachel Freeman about how the site was transformed from a paddock into a food feast! Learn growing tips to take home to your own patch of sun as you absorb growing principles for productivity, garden design and discuss some concepts of regenerative agriculture.

Next, head over to Abbotsford Farmers Market where Founder Miranda Sharp will take you through the market's fascinating history. You will have the opportunity to sample some of Victoria's best produce and understand the power of shopping directly from Victorian producers. Attendees will receive a Melbourne Farmers Market tote bag, a coffee, food samples as well as some other surprise goodies!
