Local food, no waste.

From 2025, Growing Abundance will become a project of Castlemaine Community House

Fifteen years after its inception at CCH, Growing Abundance is returning to become part of CCH and its mission to build more resilient and sustainable communities. The program will be managed and overseen by CCH’s Community Development team in collaboration with a Growing Abundance Working Group. This transition was prompted by the need to ensure long-term sustainability and support for the Growing Abundance program. 

The team at Growing Abundance is excited about this renewed partnership, recognising the alignment between our work and Castlemaine Community House’s food and sustainability programs such as zero waste cooking, preserving workshops, the Community Garden and Community Lunch. 

To support this transition and guide the program’s continued delivery, CCH will establish a dedicated Working Group. For more information on how to be involved click here:  

It is with great joy that we begin the transition into our new home at Castlemaine Community House, in the trust that Growing Abundance will be supported to thrive and serve our community for years to come. 

The Growing Abundance Project is all about Local food.
From Growing it to Eating it.

We prepare local feasts.
We share produce between our volunteers and the community.
