Through growing food and regenerating the landscape, Grow the Future offers engagement, training and employment opportunities for young people in a hands-on, project based, supportive setting in the Bega Valley.
School based programs
We work with school students who are looking for a hands on outdoor project based experience, to give students an opportunity to thrive outside of the classroom. As well as offering experience in horticulture, this is also an opportunity to gain life skills in a safe and structured setting.
Grow the future training certificate
We run a 16 week vocational training program, that builds horticulture, ecosystem management and business skills.
Supported Employment
We provide a supportive work environment for young people, to build confidence and skills that are transferable to any workplace. Working at Grow The Future farm is a stepping stone for young people to launch from.
A better future for young people and the Bega Valley
Grow the future is a social enterprise that grows food and cares for land.
We are developing a 2-acre farm at 20 Auckland Street Bega, which includes a market garden, small animal systems, a training and social space, an outdoor kitchen, a kitchen garden, and native regeneration zones.
The farm will offer young people opportunities to be engaged in a supportive and inspiring ‘hands-on’ engagement program, vocational training, and paid employment.
We want to grow the food production of the Bega valley through developing skills, interest and understanding for localised food systems.
