Everyone needs food to live.

Located in the park-like grounds of St Francis College in the inner city suburb of Milton, this urban farm project seeks to ‘grow food and community with and for the nutritionally vulnerable’ through creative partnerships with individuals and organisations.

In 2011-12, 4% of Australians experienced food insecurity. An even higher prevalence of food insecurity has been reported among particularly marginalised communities, such as asylum seekers (71%), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (22%), disadvantaged urban households (25%), and people who are unemployed (23%).*

Baroona Farm is a ministry of the Anglican Church of Southern Queensland and we believe all people should have access to fresh and nutritious produce.
