Permaculture Design Northey Street Permaculture Design has been established by some enthusiastic graduates along with our experienced designers Dick and Richard. Now all those unable to do a course at the farm can access the benefits of our team’s combined Permaculture knowledge and experience, with a consultation or a full design. No job is too large or small. The price of food is increasing (environmentally and monetarily). There’s never been a better time to grow your own and reduce your impact on the planet, while saving money at the same time. You can contact us through the NSCF office on (07) 3857 8775, the nursery on (07) 3857 8774, email nnorthey@bigpond.net.au, or pop over to the info stall at the Sunday Markets (7-10.30) for details and a chat.

Sunday Organic Market Our Organic Growers Market will continues operating every Sunday from 6:30 to 10:30am. We welcome our new Market Coordinator, Paul Ziebarth, and wish him well in this exciting role. The market provides a great place for all your fruit, vegetables, dairy and bakery items, as well as chai, coffee, sausage sizzle and other breakfast options. And while it is wet, get your new season's seedlings, plants & trees (as well as gift vouchers) from the organic "Edible landscapes" Nursery. This remains Brisbane's only Organic Market. We are keen to not only keep up all the wonderful aspects of the market, but to expand and enhance the marketing experience for all our patrons, volunteers and stall holders. TAFE Level 1 Horticulture Course Enrollees wanted for Tuesday This course is for people who have an interest in organic gardening, want to develop this interest, and want to see organic gardening more broadly supported. The course fee is set at about half the usual cost, to support volunteer work at Northey Street City Farm. The cost is either $120, or $60 for people with a Health Care Card. Go here for more information. As well as the longer Permaculture Courses, we offer shorter Tuesday alternatives. On Centrelink / WFD Support?
