[Bermagui Community] Community Owned Farming - Opportunity in Canberra

[Geoffrey Grigg]

Hello,

Some changes of long term property ownership are happening around the
Braidwood area.

It's a bit of a long term Domino event I think.

So, this email below from Bungendore weekly markets' Samantha Hawker puts
an idea out about co-operative ownership.

All the best

Geoffrey.

Hi everyone!
Caroola Farm is up for sale, Gleanna Meala is up for sale, several other
farms are likely to change hands soon.

How can we keep our local organic farms producing when the farmers need to
move on and potential young farmers cannot afford to buy in?

Maybe by buying them and operating them ourselves?! Community ownership?

*Please spread this far and wide through your networks*, we will be
assessing the level of interest in 2 weeks time for this project, but will
continue working on the model for future farm opportunities.

There are links below to Co-Canberras proposal for a Community Owned buyout
of Caroola Farm, a commercial permaculture farm near Bungendore.

Please reply to buildafarmcoop at gmail.com if you are interested in any way
(invest, loan, farm, help with bringing it together/general business stuff
etc)
