The epic eggplants of Baguley Farm don't move themselves. A huge thanks to Sherlock Wheelbarrows for kitting out our team with the equipment they need to harvest and distribute more nutritious produce for the nourishing meals we make.

Rising rents, fuel costs and the ongoing cost of living crisis are affected families, pensioners and people across the country. Queues at food relief services are growing every single week.

FareShare cooked almost 3 million meals last financial year, but to meet the growing need in our communities we need to reach 4 million, a million meals more. A generous partner is matching every donation - dollar for dollar - up to $100,000. Your donation by 30 June* will go twice as far. Double your impact today: https://bit.ly/4vvFz0d

💧🎬🚜 LIGHTS… CAMERA… WATER!
Big smiles, big machinery and a big step forward at Dingley Farm! 🚜🌱 Bore water drilling is officially underway, and the faces of our farm crew say it all as they welcomed the BoreWell team onsite to get things started.

This is a huge milestone for our new flagship farm, helping set us up to triple production once fully operational. That means even more fresh, nutritious food flowing into FareShare kitchens and into meals for people who need them most. 💚🥕

A big thank you to the Marian and E.H. Flack Trust who funded the bore drilling, and BoreWell for helping bring this next chapter to life! 👏💦

We had the pleasure of welcoming Jamie Durie to our farms and Abbotsford kitchen. It was wonderful to have him meet our incredible volunteers, see our facilities in action, and hear his heartfelt support for the work we do. Thank you, Jamie!

Giuseppe had always been self-sufficient, running his own business for 12 years, so when everything fell apart at once he found it incredibly hard to ask for help.

He never imagined he would be the one standing in line for food.

A FareShare meal showed Giuseppe that somebody cared, and that small act of kindness was the beginning of rebuilding his life. Your donation, now doubled - dollar for dollar - up to $100,000 before 30 June, can start that same journey for someone else. https://bit.ly/43bKMy4

Congratulations to Leslie Baguley OAM.

Everyone at FareShare is delighted to congratulate Les Baguley on being awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to the community through charitable initiatives.

Les has been a long-time supporter of FareShare, generously providing access to his family farm in Clarinda, where our team and volunteers grow around 100 tonnes of fresh vegetables each year.

Thanks to Les's generosity, FareShare is able to grow produce at scale including, helping supply ingredients for the nutritious meals we cook in our FareShare kitchen and distribute to people experiencing hardship.

The farm is also a place where hundreds of volunteers come together throughout the year, giving their time to help grow food for the community.

This recognition reflects Les's longstanding commitment to helping others and creating opportunities for charities to make a bigger impact.

Congratulations, Les, on this well-deserved honour, and thank you for the incredible contribution you have made to FareShare and the wider community.

It's sweet potato season! 🍠 Our first harvest of the year came from Moorabbin, with plenty more coming across our farms and into our kitchens.
