The second Saturday of the Month - Local Food Stall
Venue: Samford Chuchyard Markets
Time: 7 - 11am
Samford Local Growers is a community group established by people in the Samford/Dayboro area of Brisbane. The group aims to cultivate a food system incorporating local hobby growers using organic methods from the Samford/Dayboro region and consumers seeking locally grown food. The group formed in September 2008 with the assistance of the Pine Rivers Climate Action Network and Peter Kearney of Cityfood Growers. The group has now committed to extend its impact to the general public by operating a local food stall as well as holding informal meetings. If you are a hobby grower of food in our region and are looking for an outlet for your excess produce please contact, Peter Kearney on (07) 3289 3602 or
peter@cityfoodgrowers.com.au or visit the Samford Local Growers Google Group page: http://groups.google.com/group/samford-local-food-group?lnk=
While you're online, also check out how we can all grow more of our own food to reduce "food miles" and associated greenhouse gas emissions. Visit
www.cityfoodgrowers.com.au to connect with others to reduce your eco footprint through gardening. The business also provides gardening workshops and food gardening services to help you establish and maintain your food gardens.
Green Drinks Brisbane is a monthly event for socialising and professional networking.
Venue: Ashala Bar, 138 Albert Street, Brisbane City (in the function room)
Date rule: the final Tuesday of each month
Time: 5:30pm until late
Cost: free entry, pay for own drinks/food
No RSVP required, although there is an event listing for Facebook users who want to show their support.
This is an event for environmentally-minded Brisbane professionals who meet for a monthly drink. An excellent way to:
· meet like-minded people
· make friends
· learn about interesting projects / organisations from around the Brisbane area
· discuss and collaborate on projects
· stumble upon 'eureka' moments
Essentially, the aim is to be a social think-tank with the environment as the common denominator. Green Drinks are agenda-free and non-politically aligned (read more). Individuals from businesses, not-for-profits, government and academia welcome, as well as those with personal projects!
