Collingwood Children’s Farm is about to celebrate 40 years of bringing country life to city folk.
Located just 5km from Melbourne’s CBD, the rustic farm has become an important community hub over the past four decades.
Originally founded as a green space for families to connect with nature and food production, the not-for-profit resource is much more than a petting farm. The farm supports those experiencing disadvantage, particularly children, by delivering a range of programs.
To celebrate turning 40, Collingwood Children’s Farm is hosting a public celebration on Sunday November 3.
The community event – dubbed ‘Party Animals’ – will celebrate the farm’s achievements over the past four decades and its bright future.
“It will be a celebration and a call out to the community to support new initiatives to secure the farm as an important community space for the next 40 years,” General Manager Conor Hickey said.
Hosted by Costa from Gardening Australia, the 40th birthday celebration will be a whole day of festivities with bands Emma Donovan and the Putbacks, Jess Ribeiro, The Burnt Sausages, The Orbweavers, and more.
With a farm book launch, new farm song and podcast sharing the stories of all the people who are connected to the farm, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
