Be part of something beautiful — growing healthy people, thriving communities, and regenerated soil for future generations.
Why Our Work Matters
- Healthier Food, Healthier People
When you know how food is grown — and can touch, smell, and harvest it — you make more confident, healthier choices. - Keeping Chemicals Off Our Plates
We grow food using regenerative, chemical-free practices that support both human and environmental health. - Protecting Our Soil for Future Generations
Healthy soil is the foundation of life. By rebuilding soil, we ensure future generations can grow food sustainably. - Supporting Biodiversity & Climate Resilience
Diverse farms support pollinators, wildlife, and help store carbon in the soil — making our communities more resilient. - Strengthening Local Communities
Supporting small, local farms keeps food systems close to home and builds stronger, more connected communities.
Our Solution for People
When people connect positively with food growing - touching, smelling, and seeing how food is grown - they make more empowered food choices, children grow into healthier adults and communities grow more resilient.
Our Solution for Planet
When people increase their consumption of local, seasonal food, discover local farms, and grow some of their own produce, small shifts occur that help relocalize our food systems. These changes lead to better long-term environmental outcomes.
What makes our Approach Unique?
- Green Thumb Farm is an established beautiful and inspiring organic farm, showcasing locally grown food, with close proximity to densely populated areas of wider Brisbane.
- Our educational farm model is a cost effective, innovative public health intervention that could be replicated in other areas and target a large cohort of the population through different programs at the one farm.
- Our Management and Leadership Team has combined experience in public health, farming, environment, law, and business, and committed to social and environmental change, and committed to evidence based approaches.
- As a registered charity with the ACNC and a certified social enterprise, our commitment to social change and financial transparency is of the highest standard.
Partnerships and Collaborations
We welcome partnerships with organisations committed to health and environment, eager to collaborate and leverage resources to improve the health and wellbeing of families, children, and vulnerable groups across the wider Brisbane area, and be part of better climate solutions.
Financial support from philanthropic, government, and private sectors will enable us to establish a sustainable operational model, resulting in more community initiatives, enhancing accessibility, and scaling the impact of our work.
We are actively seeking partnerships with research institutions to contribute to a robust evidence base for our innovative educational farm model. This cost-effective and powerful intervention has the potential to be replicated in other areas. We are committed to sharing our learnings, including what hasn't worked, to build on these strong foundations.
Green Thumb Farm Association Inc. is a registered not-for-profit organisation,
an accredited charity with the ACNC, and proudly holds Social Traders Certification.
