The Cape Community Farm: a place to connect, learn, grow and visit

Located in a challenging environment along the rugged Bass Coast, The Cape Community Farm is a not-for-profit social enterprise whose aims are simple, yet important. The farm aims to share, inspire, educate and engage people to grow their own food - regardless of their experience, knowledge or location. If we can grow tasty, healthy produce here in a sometimes harsh, regularly windy, seaside location, then the possibilities are endless.

Become a member

Becoming a member is more than just accessing the farm space. You will also enjoy a sense of community, a place to share knowledge and learn from others, and have a bit of fun. Plus you become a part of a sustainable and environmentally sound, food growing revolution.

Shop with us

Market days happen on Saturdays between 10-11am where our volunteers look forward to having a chat and showing you around. Anytime the Farm gate is open, you are welcome to come in and see what is available for sale - we often have produce plus seedlings on offer.
