About 3000 Acres

We are on a mission to help more people, grow more food, in more places. We want to build healthy, resilient communities through urban agriculture where everyone has access to fresh food. By building community gardens, establishing compost hubs, hosting community harvesting events and educating growers, we are working towards a more sustainable and inclusive future. 

What we do

Since 2014 we have been working to break down the barriers to growing food in public spaces, on underutilised land and in backyards right around Melbourne. We empower communities with the skills and tools to create vibrant spaces which produce fresh, healthy food. This work varies from co-designing new community gardens to hosting our annual Olives to Oil Harvest Festival which utilises unloved olives from streets and backyards all around the city. 

Together with communities, we are creating spaces where people can come together, grow, learn, share and feel connected.
