This time of year when feijoa season comes around I think of one person – Paul Haar from Archie’s Creek. Grower, architect, innovator.

A year ago our friend and workmate Mo Nabaie got his front wheel stuck in a tram track, landed face first on Plenty Road and lost three of his front teeth.

Claire from Cherry Road Flower Farm in Red Hill is a regenerative flower farmer growing spray free, seasonal bunches of cosmos, zinnias, daffodils, tulips and snapdragons.

Harvest Festival is when we give thanks to our farmers, our makers and the sacred dance of sunshine, air, water, soil and plants from which all life follows.

Each year around Melbourne hundreds of trees simply die, come down in storms, are felled for safety reasons or removed to make way for new roads and housing.

In fields and backyards in and around Melbourne there’s a new crop of farmers sowing the seeds of organic and regenerative change.
